Adding Content in Custom Places - Part 2

When adding recent posts to your front page, we use a query that filters on cat -1, but to exclude featured should it not be -4? As the tagId on the featured tag is 4.

6:44 Up in the title we could see tag ID is equal to 4. 6:49 Now we can come into our front-page.php 6:54 and change category name to cat and featured to -1.

Hi, just go with what actually works and shows for the current install you're working with ;)

HI Zac, The problem here is the instructions in the video are incorrect. The video correctly shows you how to find the id of the tag you want to show (In this case the featured tag with tagid = 4) by going to the page and looking in the url for tagid, and then one second later you say to filter by a different id value (cat = -1). It would be quite confusing for other viewers.
