Blogger Pinned Article Featured Post Display Issue

A question by William F who recently had an issue where his blog pinned articles, showing on all blog page views, at homepage, post & pages, the blog search & archive pages.

He wrote, when people read his posts, the pinned post always appeared, but he just want it to be appeared on the homepage. 

William F uses the Blogger theme Contempo Aqua

By default the Blogger responsive themes like Contempo, Soho, Emporio & Notable uses the Featured Posts widget to display the blog Admin selected post at homepage views.

However, when the blog Admin removes this Featured Post widget, then re-added them back, this widget will now display on all Blogger blog page views.

This is what happened to William F blog pages display.

Here's how to fix this Blogger widget view issue...

How to fix Featured Posts Display on Specifix Page Views

1. Backup your Theme beforehand

2. At Theme > Edit HTML > click Jump to Widget > select FeaturedPost1

3. At the widget codes, add the Blogger theme view constructor to this widget markups, it will look something like this....

<b:widget cond='data:view.isHomepage' id='FeaturedPost1' ... >

4. Click Save Theme

5. Refresh your blog pages & this Featured Post widget will only display at homepage, not on any other pages.

Let's say you want to display the Featured post on all page views and not at homepage, just replace this...

cond='data:view.isHomepage'

To this..

cond='!data:view.isHomepage'

Similar conditions, if you want to display only at your blog Static pages, replace to this..

cond='data:view.isPage'

Or, if you want to display only at your Post page view, replace to this..

cond='data:view.isPost'

In addition, say you want to display the Featured Post widget only when users search your blog contents, replace to this...

cond='data:view.isSearch'

You can also combine two or more page views to display the Featured Post widget, like this..

cond='data:view.isPage or data:view.isPost'

This will display the Featured Post widget at Post & Static page views.

Hope it helps!
