    i’m using this below code to display the posts:

    // My post arguments
$my_post_args = array(
	'post_type' => 'property',
	'posts_per_page' => 10,
	'paged' => $paged,
	'post_status' => array( 'pending', 'draft', 'publish', 'future' ),
	'author' => $current_user->ID
);

$my_properties_query = new WP_Query( $my_post_args );
if ( $my_properties_query->have_posts() ) :
	//
		while ( $my_properties_query->have_posts() ) :
				$my_properties_query->the_post();

		[[THE CODE HERE: HOW TO CHECK IF MY POST IS FEATURED POST OR NOT??]]

		endwhile;
				wp_reset_query();
	//
	else:
		alert( __('Note:','framework'), __('No Properties Found!','framework') );
endif;

    How to check if every post is featured or not?

    Hi,

    A “featured post” is not a default part of WP core.

    Your question presumes that they exist, like they are already somewhere in your site, marked as Featured.

    But the capability to mark a post as featured is not part of WP core.

    So since it is not part of WP core, I cannot tell you how to check.

    One can create “Featured” posts by assigning a category/taxonomy to them, etc but that is something that has to be setup in your site.

    So until you can explain how a post is Featured in your site, I cannot explain how to check for them.

    If you mean sticky posts, you can use is_sticky() to check:

    while ( $my_properties_query->have_posts() ) : $my_properties_query->the_post();
  if ( is_sticky() ) :
    ... do something ...
  else :
    ... do something else ...
  endif;
endwhile;
