# Display Featured News

One of the exciting feature of this **Top News** plugin is you can display news as **Featured** with a slider.
 To do that first you have to set a news as **Featured** news. So, open a news first and scroll down to the **News Information** section.
 There you will find an option **Is Featured?**
 Check that option and also make sure the **Status** is **Active**.
 After that Update the news.

Now open a page editor and apply the below **shortocode**:

```
[ wtn_news_featured]
```

Publish that page and you will see a **Featured** section in your page.

Note: You need at least 5 news to see the slider in the featured news.

You may want to display your featured news for a specific date. To do that go to **Featured Settings** in the Top **News Internal Menu**.

 Not only that you control the number of news to display and apply the news title word lengths.
