I am currently working through a wordpress course and I am building the homepage of the wordpress website and have ran into an issue. I am trying to use the WP Query class to create a featured post however, the post is not being displayed. Here’s my code.<\/p>\n

\n<section class="middle-area">\n            <div class="container">\n                <div class="row">\n                    <aside class="sidebar col-md-3 h-100">\n\n                        <?php \n                        \n                        \/\/ Require a file called sidebar-home.php\n                        get_sidebar( 'home' ); \n\n                        ?>\n                            \n                    <\/aside>\n                    <div class="news col-md-9">\n                    <div class="row">\n                        <div class="container">\n                            <?php \n\n                            $featured = new WP_Query( 'post_type=post&posts_per_page=1&cat=4,11' );\n\n                            if( $featured->have_posts() ):\n                                while( $featured->have_posts() ): $featured->the_post();\n                            ?>\n\n                            <div class="col-12">\n                                <?php get_template_part( 'template-parts\/content', 'featured' ); ?>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                            <?php\n                                endwhile;\n                                wp_reset_postdata();\n                            endif;\n\n                            ?>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>                          \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
