AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Nelio Featured Posts is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 9 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.8★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Nelio Software — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (9) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Nelio Featured Posts works
Show full descriptionShow less
With this WordPress plugin, you can define a set of featured posts easily.
These featured posts can be added to your theme wherever you want via a widget.
The plugin is extremely simple, fast, and reliable. Once you have selected the
featured posts, they are saved in a cache, so that the amount of database
queries is kept to the minimum.
Custom Templates
Version 2.0.0 let’s you define your own templates for displaying each related
post. Just create a directory named neliofp in your theme’s directory and
create the template you want to use such as, for instance,
template-name.php. When inserting the widget, specify that the template is
template-name and you’re ready to go!
Warning Remember to save your templates somewhere save before updating
your theme!
(In the directory template-examples you’ll find some examples).
