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.
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.
