 * This plugin was a lifesaver for me. The **Genesis Sandbox Featured Content Widget**
   plugin has not been updated in several years and completely broke after the update
   to WordPress 4.9.
 * That sent me scrambling for a featured post content widget. This plugin works
   perfectly and has all the features I need except one: You cannot exclude specific
   posts from the feed.
 * And it has a one feature I have not seen in other featured posts widgets: You
   can add html to the read more text; for example, here’s what I did to get buttons
   on their own row at the end of the excerpt:
 * `...<br><span style="margin-top: 15px" class="button">Read More</span>`
 * Brilliant! None of the other similar widgets allowed this. Makes for a very nice
   news feed.
 * And finally, it respects Sticky Posts.
 * Thanks for the hard work.

 * By the way, you can set all this options and much more, including excluding posts,
   with the versatile and easy-to-use plugin [Ultimate Post List Pro](https://shop.stehle-internet.de/downloads/ultimate-post-list-pro/).
   Take a look at it.
