# Featured Posts Not Working

 * I have a WordPress blog, and everything seems to be working fine, but for some
   reason the Featured Post box isn’t working. I tried to make a category titled“
   Featured” just like the theme’s website suggested, but it still will not work.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * This is likely a theme issue. At the very least you’ll need to let us know what
   theme you use so that anyone else who uses that theme could try to help.
 * Beyond that, you may need to contact the theme developer.

 * Simple Indy is the name of the theme.
 * I heard from someone once that if you use php it won’t work. Is that true, and
   how do know if I’m using php?

 * WordPress, your theme, and your plugins, are built using the [PHP scripting language.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP)
   So I don’t see how that statement would be true.
 * I would contact the theme developer if you’re having trouble getting the featured
   posts function to work.

 * I dont know much about your theme, but if you cant get it working, then I would
   suggest you take a look at the themes at [http://themehybrid.com/](http://themehybrid.com/)
   ~ they have some child themes (you would need to read up on them first) that 
   are really easy to use features with.
 * best of luck!
