Older Entries Page-Post appears sticky, but isn’t…

With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your posts (likely index.php), then paste the content of that template in a pastebin [1] and report the link back here.

Thank you for replying; hopefully I did this correctly:

any ideas?

You have a whole section of code that display your most recent post at the top of your posts display…the code begins with <div class="recent"> and ends with </div><!--recent--> so you could delete just that section.

But if you must keep that section then you want to put an if statement around that code, something like:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if ($paged == 1) {
?>
<div class="recent">
.
.
.
</div><!--recent-->
<?php
}
?>

If you keep that code you might consider changing the query to:

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&caller_get_posts=1');

so you don’t get stickies included…just in case you use stickies in the future.
