## Overview

Feature a movie or a TV show to highlight it on your site, for example in the hero at the top of your home page. In [Wovie](https://doothemes.com/items/wovie), the featured titles rotate in the home hero, the most recent first.

A title stays featured for **30 days** from the moment you feature it. Then it stops being featured on its own, so your hero always shows recent picks without manual cleanup.

## Featuring a title

There are two ways, and both work the same:

- **From the list.** In the **Movies** or **TV Shows** list, click **Add** in the **Featured Content** column. **Remove** takes it out.
- **From the editor.** In the **Advanced** box of the title, turn on **Featured Content** and save. Turn it off and save to take it out.

The two stay in sync: a title featured from the list shows the switch on in its editor, and the other way around.

## How long it lasts

- A title is featured for 30 days from the moment you feature it.
- Saving the title while it is featured does not restart the 30 days.
- To feature it again after it expires, click **Add** or turn the switch on again.
- When the 30 days end, a daily task removes the title from the featured content and turns its switch off. You can see the task, **Featured Content Expire**, in **Dbmovies › Tools › Cron Jobs**.

Developers can change the duration with the `dbmovies_featured_duration` filter, in seconds.

## Where featured titles appear

Your theme decides where to show them. Wovie shows up to five featured movies and TV shows in the hero of the home page, the most recently featured first. If no title is featured, the hero is not shown.

## Featured genres

Genres have their own **Featured** option, which is separate from this one: it marks your main genres so your theme can show them first. See [Genres](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/taxonomies/genres).
