Deadline Theme - How to get posts to show up in the featured post area?

I am using the following theme:

http://themeforest.net/item/deadline-premium-wordpress-news-magazine-theme/117203

It is a great theme but I cannot figure out how to make my featured posts go either under the featured posts column or the news in pictures area below… how do I get them to go there. I could not figure this out from the documentation that came with the theme.

Thanks for any help.

I figured this out incase any one else has issues. You need to make sure that the sluig is only in use for the post tag and not used for a category.

What do you mean? I got the same problem…!

I have also same problem, tried every way but could not able to understand how to show featured posts column in deadline theme

Hi!

I found out that you should add a Tag – “Featured” – so Posts will show int he Featured Posts column. Similar to the the News in Pictures section – add the Tag “Pictures” .

Cheers
