Can you help me to get the featured entries page to work?

I enabled featured sites, I set featured_all_categories to yes, I selected entries as favorites, and I set my userid in featured_user_favs. The my favorites page shows the entries that I selected as favorites, but the featured sites page do not show any entries.

It's $nhits that's the problem. I imagine you've got featured sites enabled and there are none to show in the current category. The code which sets up the featured sites is over-writing the correct value of $nhits.

The featured sites problem is also causing the filter links bar to not appear since you stated the featured sites is overwriting the $nhits value.
