Vignette: How to Customize the Featured Section on Your Homepage

The free version of Kadence doesn’t have the option for you to manually select individual posts in a Query Loop. However, there’s a simple workaround that gives you full control over which posts show up.

1. Tag Your Posts

Go to the blog posts you’d like to feature and assign them a tag.

  • Open the post in the editor.
  • In the right sidebar, find the Tags section.
  • Add a tag like featured, then update the post.

Repeat this for every post you want to include in the Featured section.

2. Edit the Featured Section on Your Homepage

  1. Edit your homepage.
  2. Click anywhere on the first post in the left column of the Featured section.
    This will highlight the entire Query Loop block and show its settings in the right sidebar.
  3. In the right panel, scroll down to “Filter by Tag.”
  4. Click it and type/select featured.
  5. Repeat the same steps for the right column as it uses a separate Query Loop block.

That’s it! This section will now only show the posts you’ve tagged with featured.
