Doesn't Unstick Posts in WordPress 4.2 Alpha

This also happens on a WordPress 4.1.1 testing site I have.

Thanks Jeff, I’ll check it out!

I haven’t had a chance to test 4.2 Alpha, but did test this on 4.1.1 on my local environment and didn’t run into the issue you outlined, Jeff. I tested two scenarios, in this order:
1. A previous post was already marked as sticky and sat at the top of the site. I scheduled a new post and marked it as sticky. When the post published, the old post had the sticky flag removed and the new one sat at the top, still with the sticky flag.
2. I then immediately published a new post with the stickyflag set. The post from step one had its sticky flag removed and this one kept it.

Are your steps similar? Also, do you have any other sticky-related functionality set up on your site that I should look into for conflicts?

Thanks again Jeff!

I think I discovered the issue, or at least I found one that sounds similar. Modifying already published posts to make them sticky doesn’t remove that flag from other posts.

I’ve made the changes, so you should see a new version (1.0) in the plugin updates list.

Thanks again!

Just wanted to say that yes, that’s how I was adding sticky posts and publishing them, using existing posts. Thanks for working to fix the issue.

Glad to hear it, thanks for posting Jeff!
