Make a custom type post featured - wordpress

I made a custom post type with CPT UI. On the listing page (wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=promotions), I don't see the little star button to make the post featured as with default posts.
How do I add that button ?
Coming from Drupal and struggling. Help me out :)

There is no such option in WordPress to make a post features this way. You can make a post featured by creating a category featured Like(Featured Promotion in your case) and then add your promotions to that category.

How to use an image for a blog post thumbnail, but NOT have it be the featured image on the top of the post?

I have an image that I would like to be used for thumbnails for the page, but I don't want that as a featured image when users come to the page. Does anyone know how to do this in wordpress?
Thank you.
You probably want to use ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) to add a new field for an image in posts (or you can create your own meta field just for the image). Then You can edit your theme to show whatever image, wherever you want.
ACF Plugin
If you just want to hide the featured image in every post, and only show it in blog page (or a page like that), you need to edit the post template.

I ended up solving this by using an extension called 'Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages'. This allowed me to toggle off the the big picture on the post.

How can i show author post at listing page

I created a listing/directory theme to the wordpress. Theme is supporting add short code or static code (raw). i want to show recent blog post of only listing owner at all listing page. I can show recent post at listing page but showing all author's post.
Thank you.
In your dashboard sidebars options go to post and then open up the screen option, there you will see Columns heading , just check the box of author and the other which you want to show along with author post. As well as you can set numbers of post per page and also change the view mode.
By doing this you can only show the author post to your post section.

Posts in Custom postype not visible on frontpage wordpress

I have created a custom post type restaurant. But Its not coming on the main page. But I'm able to see the post in single view when using the permalink. Is it that I have to make any changes in the index.php? If yes what changes? I'm using the default Twenty Ten theme in wordpress 3.
And how can I get only the custom post type in another page with pagination?
It's best to use postmeta for this instead of messing with the post_type as there is wordpress functionality which is depended on post_type.
