Hello portfairypep,
Thank you so much for using our theme WeblogPro.
1. Kindly check all the options available to manage the featured section via Appearance > Customzie > Featured Section > Featured Section Options and play with the available options there. You can check the documentation for more help.
2. WeblogPro is recently updated on 2017-07-05 so please make sure you have your theme license activated or not. If you license is not active, you will not get the theme update notification.
Warm Regards
