Exclude sticky post from menu

Hi rgbcraft,

thanks for your response. You could look at the is_sticky() function in WordPress (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/is_sticky)

I haven’t tried it, but in the foreach loop that iterates over the posts, on the first line inside the loop you could try:

if (is_sticky(post->ID)) { continue; }

Again, I haven’t tried it, but something like this might work. I’ll think about adding support for your request in a way that doesn’t clutter the user interface. I don’t want to add too many checkboxes and stuff, I hope you’ll understand.

Kind regards,
Diana

I may have the wrong place, but I tried your suggestion and the menu disappeared altogether.

/*
	* Build the menu structure for display: Augment taxonomies (category, tags or custom taxonomies) that have been marked as such, by their posts. Optionally: remove original menu item.
	*/
	function cpcm_replace_taxonomy_by_posts( $sorted_menu_items, $args ) {
		$result = array();
		$inc = 0;

		foreach ( (array) $sorted_menu_items as $key => $menu_item ) {
		if ( is_sticky()) {continue ;}
			// Augment taxonomy object with a list of its posts: Append posts to $result
			// Optional: Remove the taxonomy object/original menu item itself.

Hi rgbcraft,

1. That’s not the foreach loop that iterates over the posts
2. You haven’t copied the line I gave you properly

Haven’t got the time to copy the exact code for you right now, I’ll check back in later.

Kind regards,
Diana

Hi rgbcraft,

I’ve applied the fix I proposed myself. Firstly, I apologize for omitting the dollar sign in the $post variable.

Here’s what you should do. Find the line foreach( (array) $posts as $pkey => $post ) {

Right beneath that, but above the comment // Decorate the posts ..., add the line if (is_sticky($post->ID)) { continue; }

The result should be:

foreach( (array) $posts as $pkey => $post ) {
if (is_sticky($post->ID)) { continue; }

// Decorate the posts with the required data for a menu-item.
$post = wp_setup_nav_menu_item( $post );

I may add some support for stickies later, but not right now.

Thank you so much!
