In a menu item, like: K2->Categories, I selected a top-level category and set 'Fetch children items' to Yes.
I also set 'Featured Items' to 'Hide'.

But when I save the menu, 'Featured Items' changes to 'Show'.
The same happens, when setting it to 'Show only Featured Items'

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

These options are for multi-category menu items.
Since you are only using a single category, you need to edit that category's settings.

Thanks, but how?

In the category settings "Item view options in category listings" I don't see an option to hide featured items.

Check the options under the "Other layout options" section.

Ah, Ok, thanks!

You 're welcome Nuno.

Sorry, I'm still struggling with this...

I need two menu items for the same top-level category (also fetching items for sub-categories):

* Home:-> Will get only the featured items (www.portal-gestao.com)
* Artigos:-> Will get only the non-featured items (www.portal-gestao.com/item.html)

But this doesn't seem possible to do with the typical K2->Categories Menu item.

Or is it?

As I already told you, the setting is for single K2 categories.
If your menu is towards multiple K2 categories you need to edit the menu item's settings instead.
