Hi Elliot, thanks for your answer. Turns out I got it completelky wrong. I was using a normal checkbox without realizing there’s a true/false checkbox that des the job just fine. However, I’m still in a bit of trouble. I have this set up:

if(function_exists("register_field_group"))
{
	register_field_group(array (
		'id' => 'acf_featured-post',
		'title' => 'Featured Post',
		'fields' => array (
			array (
				'key' => 'field_5233c482612a9',
				'label' => 'Feature Post?',
				'name' => 'featured',
				'type' => 'true_false',
				'message' => 'Is this a featured post?',
				'default_value' => 0,
			),
		),
		'location' => array (
			array (
				array (
					'param' => 'post_type',
					'operator' => '==',
					'value' => 'post',
					'order_no' => 0,
					'group_no' => 0,
				),
			),
		),
		'options' => array (
			'position' => 'side',
			'layout' => 'default',
			'hide_on_screen' => array (
			),
		),
		'menu_order' => 0,
	));
}

And I have no truble calling the featured posts like this:

$posts = get_posts(array(
                        'meta_query' => array(
                            array(
                                'key' => 'featured',
                                'value' => '1',
                                'compare' => '=='
                            )
                        )
                    ));

                echo '<ul>';
                    if( $posts )
                    {
                        foreach( $posts as $post )
                        {
                            setup_postdata( $post );
                            echo '<li>'; the_post_thumbnail('slider'); the_title(); echo '</li>';
                        }
                    }
                ?>
                </ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

However, when I use another loop like this:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ;?>"><?php the_title() ;?></a></h2>
                <?php the_post_thumbnail('home'); ?>
                <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

            <?php endwhile; else: ?>

                <p>Sorry, no posts to list</p>

            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php
            global $wp_query;

            $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

            echo paginate_links( array(
                'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
                'format' => '?paged=%#%',
                'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
                'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
            ) );
            ?>

I’m still getting the featured posts. I don’t quite get it, shouldn’t I be getting the rest of the posts?

Thanks a lot!
