Where is the featured category in wp 3.41?

[PaulSmith]

Hi I know this might be a stupid question, but I have been trying to set up my socrates theme with the magazine layout.

I have followed your instructions in the guide
1) Socrates comes with two magazine templates with Featured Sliders. When you use these template, the page editor should be "BLANK". No content is necessary as the template builds the content for you.

2)Magazine One ‐ This puts a featured slider and one column of recent posts with featured images. You need to add a 613x500 featured image into the post, and add the post to a “featured” category.

But how do you add the post to the featured category? Where is it? I have been searching for ages! Man I am tired of searching Please Help.

Hi Guys! Doh! I figured it out 2 minutes after I posted this thread! You have to create a category called featured!
Wow that took me a long time to get!

How can we get the posts from the "Featured" category to "NOT" show up in the recent posts that are listed underneath the slider in the Magazine One format?

Hi denhil,

Can you explain why you would not want the posts in the Featured category to not show in the magazine? The purpose of the featured category is to feature posts in the magazine.

Since this question was posted 5 months ago, I can't remember exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Since I didn't get a reply within a few days, I changed my strategy and designed the blog with a different strategy that didn't need to mask those posts. No reason to re-visit it now that the blog is up and running. Hopefully, in the future, I can get a quicker reponse and we can have a more meaningful exchange.
