How to Add Featured Hero Blog Posts in GoHighLevel

If you manage content across ClickUp and other tools, you can still centralize your publishing workflow using GoHighLevel. In this guide, you will learn step-by-step how to add, edit, and remove hero or featured posts in the GoHighLevel blog system so your most important articles appear prominently at the top of your blog.

Using featured posts correctly helps direct visitors to your best content, improve user engagement, and guide readers toward high-value offers or key updates.

What Is a Hero or Featured Post in GoHighLevel?

In the GoHighLevel blogging tool, a hero or featured post is a blog article that you highlight at the top of your blog listing or on sections of your site that support featured content.

When you mark an article as featured:

  • It is visually emphasized at the top of blog sections that support featured posts.
  • It can act as a hero post, drawing attention with a larger preview or more prominent placement.
  • It helps you promote announcements, offers, or cornerstone content created in GoHighLevel.

You control which posts are featured directly inside the blog settings of your site.

Where Featured Posts Appear in GoHighLevel

Featured posts appear in specific blog layout sections that recognize the featured setting. When you enable featured status for an article in GoHighLevel, that post can show:

  • At the top of the main blog listing page.
  • Inside selected blog widgets or sections that support featured items.
  • As a hero-style card, depending on your chosen blog design.

The exact appearance depends on your current blog template and page design, but the core setting is always controlled from the blog’s configuration within GoHighLevel.

How to Open Your Blog Settings in GoHighLevel

Before you can add a hero or featured post, you need to access the blog configuration area inside GoHighLevel.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Choose the sub-account where your blog is installed.

  3. Navigate to the Sites or Websites section, depending on your interface version.

  4. Open the Blogs area to view your existing blog.

  5. Select the blog you want to edit so you can manage hero or featured posts.

Once you are in the correct blog, you will see options to manage posts, categories, and layout settings.

After saving, your newly marked featured post will be eligible to appear in the hero or featured area of your blog layout.

Confirming the Featured Post on Your Blog Page

Once you have enabled the featured setting on a post, verify that it displays correctly:

  1. Open the live blog page or preview it inside GoHighLevel.

  2. Look at the top section where hero or featured posts should appear.

  3. Confirm that your selected post is now shown in the featured area.

If the post is not displayed, check that your current blog layout supports featured posts and that you have properly enabled the featured option.

How to Edit an Existing Featured Post in GoHighLevel

You can change which article is featured at any time. Editing an existing hero or featured post in GoHighLevel generally follows the same process as editing a normal post, with a focus on the featured toggle.

  1. Go to the blog posts list inside GoHighLevel.

  2. Locate the article currently marked as featured.

Your changes will automatically reflect wherever the featured post is displayed in your blog layout.

How to Remove a Hero or Featured Post in GoHighLevel

If you no longer want a post to appear as a hero or featured item, you can remove that status easily.

Step-by-step: Unfeature a Post in GoHighLevel

  1. Within your GoHighLevel blog, open the list of posts.
