    Good evening!

    I have a live site and am thinking about adding Featured Content (3 columns) to one page. Questions:

    1. Is it possible to use the Featured Content on a single page that is not the home page? (For example, a test page.)
    2. If not, is there a way of adding it to the homepage but not making it live until I have tweaked it? (As soon as I assign it to the homepage, the Featured Content template shows up live.)
    3. Can I move three items (video, poem, and Facebook feed) from my homepage to this Featured Content thing? Will this be possible? My site is wellnesswarriorsboston dot org.

    Thank you.

    @abisbee : The featured content can be enabled on entire site and it can be hidden with additional css except a test page. Let me know in which page you would like to display featured content on your site. You may select to display desired content as featured content.

    That sounds promising! If you give me the CSS code for ID=256, that would be helpful. Thank you!

    After much experimenting, I figured out how to do it!

    /*ONLY SHOW FEATURED CONTENT ON PAGE 3147 (test page)*/
    #featured-content { display: none; }
    .page-id-3147 #featured-content {display:inline }

    However, the featured content displays badly on small screens. Is there a way to make each widget appear on a separate line on small screens? The sidebar widgets do that, but not the featured content widgets.

    @abisbee :Please add the following additional css and let me know if this resolves your issue.

    @media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
#featured-content.layout-three .hentry {
	width:100%;
	float:none;
	text-align:center;
}
}

    Hi Tikaram,

    Yes, that worked. Thank you! Now the 3 boxes are on separate lines when I view on a phone.

    However, when I view on a tablet or hold the phone horizontal, box 1 and 2 are nicely centered but box 3 is not. Why?

    @abisbee : Please add the following additional css and it should work.

    #attachment_158 {
	margin: 0 auto;
}

    Let me know if this resolves the issue.

    It worked like a charm, Tikaram! I was playing with alignment, when I should have been adjusting the margin.

    Thank you!

    Tikaram, may I ask three more questions about https://wellnesswarriorsboston.org/featured/?

    1. How do I widen Optional Sidebar Two? I tried this CSS code but it obviously doesn’t work. (I am trying to widen the sidebar so the Facebook feed appears full width.) I do not want to change the width of the other sidebars.

    .optional-sidebar-two {
    width: 400px;
    padding-left:0;
    }

    2. I am clearly having trouble with the CT: Featured Post and Featured Image in the first Featured Content widget. I’d like to have both a thumbnail featured image and the text excerpt to the right (in the same widget). Instead, the image is huge and the text is underneath.

    3. Also, the title doesn’t appear in the CT: Featured Post, even though I have a title in the post and I tried inserting a title into the widget. Help!

    I appreciate your assistance.

    @abisbee : To widen the sidebar add the following additional css. 

    .page-id-3147 .sidebar-primary {
	width: 32%;
}
.page-id-3147 #main {
	width: 60%;
}

    It looks like you are using featured widget content. I suggest you to use either featured post content or featured page content. If you would like to customize your site as desired you may hire customizer. Let me know if you have any further issues.

    Regards,

    Perfect. Thank you, Tikaram.

    I fixed the image/text issue by using a smaller image and floating left. The title still doesn’t appear, though. These are my settings:
    Title: FEATURED WARRIOR
    ID of the Post: 334
    Show Image after Title: checked
    Show Content: Excerpt
    Content Character Limit: 150

    I’m not sure what you mean by “It looks like you are using featured widget content. I suggest you to use either featured post content or featured page content.” If I want to show a featured post, plus an image and buttons, don’t I have to use Featured Widget Content? Within the Featured Content, I am using 2 custom HTML widgets and CT:Featured Post. (Again, the test site page is https://wellnesswarriorsboston.org/featured/)

    @abisbee :Glad to know that the issue has been resolved. I mean to say in the featured content option you may have used featured post content or featured page content instead of featured widget content. Well if it’s still unclear that’s not an issue it was my suggestion only. Let me know if you have any further issues.

    Regards,
    Tikaram
