In customizer there is nice settings for “Make first post featured”.
But I don’t want to use the first post but rather my “sticky post” as featured (the one at top of the blog list).
Is there a CSS way for applying those same settings for featured post to the sticky one?
If not, I can also change the date of this sticky post to be the first one and apply the existing setting in Customizer.
Sorry for wasting your time, problem solved.
I was wrong and thought that the Featured Post needed the very first post by date but I realize that it works with the Sticky Post as it automatically becomes the first one at the page.
