Feature A Page Widget

Feature A Page Widget provides a “just works” solution for showcasing a Page, Post, or custom post type in any widget area (aka sidebar). It leverages core WordPress features, a simple set of options, and a sleek UI for selecting one of three widget layouts. How to Use the Widget Install and activate the plugin. Edit the page you want to feature. Fill out the Excerpt and select a Featured Image on that page. Go to Appearance > Widgets or Customize > Widgets. Add an instance of the “Feature a Page Widget” to the widget area (Sidebar, Footer, etc.) of your choosing. Select the page, choose a layout, and optionally give the widget a title. Save the widget! Admire your handiwork. This plugin enables Featured Images (aka “Post Thumbnails”) and Excerpts for Pages and Posts (by default) with the ability to support custom post types. If you don’t see one or both of those fields, they may be hidden in the “Screen Options” (top-right corner) while editing a Page or Post. Important Note: Image Sizes This plugin creates multiple custom image sizes. If you use images that were uploaded to the media library before you installed this plugin, you may need to use a plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails to create the correctly-sized images. Customizing the Widget There are multiple ways to modify the widget based on your needs: Prewritten CSS selectors in /css/fpw_starter_styles.css to help you get started with custom CSS styles in a child theme or the Custom CSS Customizer field Three default overridable templates and the ability to create custom templates Eight filters to modify most parts of the widget output (Title, Read More, Image sizes, etc.) Interested in commissioning a custom layout just for your site?

Genesis Featured Page Advanced

Genesis Featured Page Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built to solve a problem that will soon no longer exist. The advent of block themes utilizing the Site Editor has made traditional widgets irrelevant. Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed. An advanced version of the Genesis – Featured Page widget, this plugin allows you to add a custom image, custom content, page excerpt, and more. Genesis Featured Page Advanced is only for Genesis Framework users. Genesis is a premium product of StudioPress, which has no affiliation with this plugin. Plugin highlights Add a Custom Page Title Display widget title above or below image (Defaults above) Display page title above or below image (Defaults below) Adds option for widget to link to a custom link Adds custom image upload field Adds option to adjust the size of custom images Adds custom content field, which accepts shortcodes Adds option to display the page excerpt Adds option to remove the page link from the page title Adds option to add the page link to the widget title Adds option to remove the page link from the featured or custom image Adds option to insert the Learn More link on a new line Set the target and rel attributes on all links Fields show/hide based on user selection for cleaner UI Works alongside the original Genesis – Featured Page widget and other third party widgets Uses the same CSS classes as the original Genesis widget, so any styling you are currently using will be passed to this widget Genesis 2.0 and HTML5 compatible If you are looking for additional features, let me know in the plugin support forum. Disclaimer: This plugin is essentially a forked version of the original Genesis – Featured Page widget. Props go to StudioPress for developing the widget. I just modified/enhanced it.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this comparison

Which has better reviews, Feature A Page Widget or Genesis Featured Page Advanced?

Feature A Page Widget (5.0★, 29 reviews) and Genesis Featured Page Advanced (5.0★, 29 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.

Should I choose Feature A Page Widget or Genesis Featured Page Advanced?

AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the WordPress Plugin Directory does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.

Which is faster to set up, Feature A Page Widget or Genesis Featured Page Advanced?

Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the WordPress Plugin Directory publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large WordPress Plugin Directory site owners?

Feature A Page Widget typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (29 reviews). Genesis Featured Page Advanced typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (29 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.

Can I migrate data between Feature A Page Widget and Genesis Featured Page Advanced?

Migration support varies by app and category. Feature A Page Widget and Genesis Featured Page Advanced both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Genesis Featured Page Advanced" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
