# Installation

## From WordPress.org

1. In the WordPress admin, go to **Plugins → Add New**.
2. Search for **Post Type Spotlight**.
3. Install and activate.

## Manually

1. Download the plugin zip from
   [wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-spotlight](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-spotlight/)
   or from a [GitHub release](https://github.com/linchpin/post-type-spotlight/releases).
2. Upload the folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
3. Activate through the **Plugins** menu.

## Requirements

| Requirement | Version |
| --- | --- |
| WordPress | 6.1 or later |
| PHP | 7.4 or later |

## After activating

Nothing is featured until you choose which post types can be, so the plugin
does nothing visible until you do. A notice in the admin says so and links
straight to the screen, and the plugin's row on **Plugins** gains a **Settings**
link to the same place.

Either way the destination is **Settings → Writing**, where the **Featured Post
Types** section lists every public post type. Tick the ones you want and save.
See [Usage](usage.md).

The notice stops once that screen has been saved — including when you save it
with nothing ticked, which is a valid answer — or when you dismiss it with the
X. Dismissal is recorded for the whole site, not per user.
