I am just launching my new site design, and what I want to do is pull specific posts (not by main category etc, but let’s say “highlighted” posts that I want to embed into main pages (for SEO, but also just to make sure I’m driving customers to the right forum posts if they are interested
I know the embed part is pretty easy (screenshot) but what do you recommend is the best way to tag individual topics that I could then pull into pages?
But does that also pin them to the top? I’m trying to select specific threads (for relevance to pages I want to put them on) but I don’t necessarily want to give them any kind of “pin” or “priority” within the forums. If that makes sense.
Sorry quick follow up, anyone know how to change the grey background (in a setting) or do I have to do it in CSS? Topics tagged coaching (the BG behind coaching in this example)
You can have some control over this with the tag style site setting. Changing the tag style to “simple” should give you what you are looking for. Otherwise, you can set the style with CSS in your site’s theme.
Another approach that you could take would be to add the featured tag to a tag group. That would allow you to configure the tag so that it can only be seen by your site’s staff members:
You probably want to make them ‘staff only’ so your members can’t apply it themselves.
