 * This seems like an option offered by your theme. Most likely you need to find
   the postmeta key with which the value of this flag is saved.
 * Are you comfortable running a SQL query if I gave you one?

 * `SELECT distinct(meta_key) from wp_postmeta;`
 * change wp_ to whatever your database prefix is, defined in wp-config.php
 * wp_ is the default table prefix. Try running the query, first.

 * A featured posts section on your site can be a great way to drive traffic to 
   specific articles. It also helps users find main content on your site more easily,
   improving their experience.
 * Featured posts should generally be timeless “main content” that is always relevant
   and serves the primary purpose of your site. There are exceptions, of course,
   one could be if you want to present a recent, high-profile story. However, in
   general, you will want your featured posts to represent the main content of your
   site.
