## Description

Want to add a special message or ad code to your most popular blog posts? This plugin
enables you to do just that!

 1. Install and activate the plugin via `WP-Admin > Plugins`.
 2. Mark your top posts as “Premium” using a checkbox in the Post Editor.
 3. Go to `WP-Admin > Settings > Reading` and edit your premium post message.
 4. Choose to place your message above or below the post content, or place it manually
    using the `<?php premium_posts(); ?>` template tag inside [The Loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop).

This plugin also adds the conditional tag `is_premium_post()` for use in your theme
template files. You can use it to test if a specific post is marked as premium by
passing the post ID (or post object) as a parameter.

Example:

    ```
    <?php if ( is_premium_post( $post_id ) ) { ?>

        <?php echo get_the_title( $post_id ); ?> is a premium post!

    <?php } ?>
    ```
