# featured posts are “lost”

 * I changed hosting providers last weekend. It went quite well. 
   However, I lost
   my “featured posts”?!?
 * Of course, I still have the backup from my previous provider, which I uploaded
   to the new one.
 * As far as I can remember, “featured posts” can be activated (or created) via 
   Design > Customizer > Theme Options > Featured Posts. 
   However, I don’t have “**
   Theme Options**“, but rather “General Options” under “Customizer,” and “Featured
   Posts” is missing. Can I find the corresponding .php in my backup? Is there any?
 * Thank you in advance!
