Hi, this is a feature request, it would be nice to able to make it possible to only toggle sticky on parent posts. Maybe an action filter could be added, so developers could hook into and customize it to their desire.

We are getting sticky posts showing in Custom Post Types category pages. So this plugin doesn’t work right in CPT.

I will have to find a fix for this, and may publish the code for others to use. I hope this is maintained, and we can get an update out. If the author can help fix this bug, it would be appreciated, but I understand the “Free” part of the plugin, and respect the authors contribution.

Hi, we have started using MEC (Modern Events Calendar) plugin. When using Sticky Posts – Switch, the sticky posts repeat and make up dates in the calendar causing multiple calendar events from just one event.

I have contacted MEC but they say the issue lays with your plugin, wondering if I can get you to look into it?

Same problem as here

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cant-uncheck-sticky-post/

Hi. Great plugin but I’m trying to figure out how to make one of my articles be ‘stuck’ to the top of my Lifestyles Category. This post is in the sub category of Wellness and Self-Care. How can I make this post stick to that sub and main category? If I use it as a sticky post it sticks to all my other categories. Please let me. Thanks

Hey,

I want to use the Query Loop block, shipped with WordPress 6.2, with only sticky custom post types. Unfortunately there is no way I can choose the sticky posts in the block settings.

Is there a way your plugin can handle this?

First of all, thank you for this much-needed plugin. It does the job.

It appears that if the post is marked as private, then it will prevent the sticky feature. I tested two different approaches.

Approach 1

• Check the box to make the post private & update
• Check the box to make the post sticky & update (unable to select)

Approach 2

• Check the box to make the post sticky & update (works)
• Check the box to make the sticky post private & update (de-select the sticky checkbox)

Please advise.

Your code for retrieve_sticky_posts() includes the following:

// If any posts have been excluded specifically, Ignore those that are sticky.
if ( !empty($sticky_posts) && !empty($q['post__not_in']) ) {
    $sticky_posts = array_diff($sticky_posts, $q['post__not_in']);
}

However, the code in the functio never defines $q, but since you’re checking the whole thing with empty() it doesn’t crop up as an error. This casues explicitly excluded sticky posts to still show up.

It should be this:

// If any posts have been excluded specifically, Ignore those that are sticky.
if ( !empty($sticky_posts) && !empty($wp_query->query_vars['post__not_in']) ) {
    $sticky_posts = array_diff($sticky_posts, $wp_query->query_vars['post__not_in']);
}

Hi,

May I know how to change the sticky post order? I have 5 sticky posts, and I want to change their order.

Will you consider adding this feature to the new version?
Many Thanks,

Hi,
I checked some custom posts as sticky, but I unable to uncheck them,

The star always remain filled. In the post editor I can uncheck the flag but the post still remain sticky.

I love how intuitive the plugin is. However, it modifies the admin menu layout. I adjusted the setting to move the pin with star to the far right, but that does not fix it. Instead, the pin and star only moves to the middle.

Would love to use this one, but can’t deal with wp-admin like that. I have screenshots if needed.

We don’t want it to say

“Stick this post to the front page”

We want it to just say

“Make this content featured/sticky”

How can we do this?

Hi

Now that the other plugin ‘Category Sticky Post’ seems not to be updated, there is a gap and a need for a plugin to put a sticky post in each category at the top of the category page/archive.

From the descriptions of your plugin, I am not clear whether it is intended to do that. The best I could achieve with it installed was to have all sticky posts (from all categories) at the top of every category page. So it ignored the category of the sticky post, and was not useful. I could not see how to fix it, or whether I was asking it to do something that was not intended.

Please could you clarify. Thank you and best wishes.

Hi! I’d like to ask, how can I switch off the ‘stick to the top of the blog’ checkbox in my articles where I switched on? I have a many thousends articles and sometimes I used this options, sometimes no. I’d like to do that on all articles it will be switched off this options.

Thank You!

Hi

Installed and setup correctly, all options are selected for my custom posts types, archives cats etc but the posts that are sticky do not show in any category archive pages.

Can you help?

Thanks

Thought was a great plugin but after stickying my post – that post then changed layout – thumbnail became tiny, tags moved up right side and title and breadcrumbs stretched down left side – so unusable for me in current format – I don’t understand why it has to mess with post formatting

Instead of an entire page, I want the sticky-post to be the about. How can I change the words “Feature Post” to “About”?

Hi there,

I’m using this plugin to stick multiple items to the top of custom category archives within a custom post type. The most recent 2 sticky items appear first, no problem, but the older sticky items appear in their usual location-based on date. This is happening throughout all of the custom categories.

The website is on a staging server, behind a password which I can give you privately.

Thank you!

Hi,

I have the same issue as described here.

When using sticky posts the query not respecting the number of posts per page. How to make this work?

Hello,

The sticky checkbox works fine, I can see my post is a sticky post in the BO.
But in my front the sticky post is not in the first position.

Here are the two loops on which I tested :

Can you help me please ?

Hello, when WPML is enabled, I can’t unstick any sticky custom post type. and I can see that even WPML is installed, there is a notification from you plugin that it is not.
https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAuljzQX

I need to apologize because I thought I was already making monthly donations to you for the use of your code. I have Sticky Title running in about a dozen sites I manage so it would be helpful to be able to customize the class without it being overwritten with an update. I have a more extensive wish list but this is the more important.
<h4 class="sticky-title">Featured post</h4>
As seen above, is the second word in lower case caused by my themes or an expression of the plugin? I need a way to change the current >Featured post< to >Featured Post<?
I at least want both words to start with CAPs, please.

Thank you

Thanks so much for this plugin, it’s saved me a lot of time. It’s working great except for just one category.

I have a couple of sticky posts for most categories, and if you choose a category, such as LandPKS Modules and Functions, you’ll see highlighted sticky posts at the top of the list. In the template I added an if statement for is_sticky() to add styling for the sticky posts.

Some of those same sticky posts are also under the category Habitat Information. For instance, the post “Intro to the LandPKS Habitat Module” shows up as sticky under LandPKS Modules and Functions, but it does not show up as sticky under Habitat Information.

Can you think of a reason for this or something I should look at. I can’t figure out why it’s mostly working for all categories and tags, but not this one category, Habitat Information.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Michelle

Sticky post not working with Oxygen Builder? At least not on my website.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

WordPress v5.4.2
Gutenberg & Elementor

We use your plugin to add sticky posts on our custom post types. Thanks for it.
But we found an issue. Here the case:

1. I click on the star in the list of posts. The post is well added in the sticky option.
2. Now, we go to the post and save it
3. The post is no longer a sticky post

Can you check fix that ?
Tell me if you need more information.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a custom archive page with a custom menu. Both are dynamically filled with posts. Here’s the code of the menu: https://pastebin.com/MfHKt8AF

Since activating your plugin and adding 2 sticky posts, the menu contains a duplicate entry named “PPS Rijnstraat 8”. This duplicate entry is visible on the last page of the archive.

Why does activating your plugin add a duplicate entry to my menu? I’ve checked the posts there’s only one project named “PPS Rijnstraat 8”. There’s no other code change that could explain this behaviour.

I hope you can take a look with me so we can figure this out.

Thanks!

I would like to know if there is a way to order the posts in a manner that I want.

Dear All,

I really like the plugin but I have one question. Is there any way to remove the padding as the sticky posts take up much more space than the normal ones… I want them to be on top but looking exactly like the others:

Hi,

Thank you for creating this lovely plugin, I am using it with a custom post type and it is working great with it. However, when I perform a search query within this post type, the sticky posts show up in the search results as well… Is there a code I could add to the search.php page to get those sticky posts not to show? thanks in advance!

Hi

I would like to make a query to only show sticky posts and nothing else. I have a mix of custom post types.

Is this possible?

Thank you
