Title: {theme: Sequel] Featured Posts Issue Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # {theme: Sequel] Featured Posts Issue * Resolved [TerribleTim68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terribletim68/) * (@terribletim68) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-sequel-featured-posts-issue-1/) * I’m building a site using Sequel and ran into an issue. I have it set to only“ feature” posts using a given tag. The problem is, it’s displaying every post as a featured post. How do I get some posts to NOT show as “featured”? I thought that’s what the tag was for?

I did set the tag in the featured content section within the customizer. I have 3 posts tagged with the tag set in the featured content settings and 1 post without that tag, yet all 4 are showing in the featured section scroll. * Theme Author [Brian Harris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zgani/) * (@zgani) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-sequel-featured-posts-issue-1/#post-4705017) * OK cool. * Number of posts to show set to 3 or is at the default 6? * If its set at 3 the try this – remove the tag from the tag box by typing in none and save. Exit the customizer and check site – there should be no posts in the featured content unless at least of them is marked as Sticky. * If that is case then go back in to the Customizer and change the tag back to the original and save – now you should have the set number of posts in the featured section. * If the issues still persists please link to the site and I’ll take a closer look to see if I can spot anything that might be throwing things off. * Zulf * Thread Starter [TerribleTim68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terribletim68/) * (@terribletim68) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-sequel-featured-posts-issue-1/#post-4705032) * I’ll check into that once I’m back at my computer.

I have changed the number of posts back to 6, and it is still working as it should!

Maybe you could shoot me an email at “terribletim68 @ gmail”? * Thanks, Tim * [sorengenevieve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sorengenevieve/) * (@sorengenevieve) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-sequel-featured-posts-issue-1/#post-4705402) * This did not work for me but the opposite did at least remove the featured posts entirely and get back to square one ~ remove the tags from the posts and then set the featured content to “featured” — it can’t find or pull any featured posts and does not pull the rest of them anymore either.
