Personally, i patched the following file : advanced-post-slider.php to only displaying sticky_post.
This trick have to be redone after plugin update
The patch :
In the $query_args (~line 277), i add the sticky post option
$query_arg = array(
‘post_type’ => ($query[‘advps_post_types’]) ? $query[‘advps_post_types’] : ‘post’,
‘post__not_in’ => $exclude,
‘offset’ => ($query[‘advps_offset’]) ? $query[‘advps_offset’] : 0,
‘posts_per_page’ => ($query[‘advps_maxpost’]) ? $query[‘advps_maxpost’] : 10,
‘orderby’ => ($query[‘advps_order_by’]) ? $query[‘advps_order_by’] : ‘date’,
‘order’ => ($query[‘advps_order’]) ? $query[‘advps_order’] : ‘DESC’,
‘post__in’ => get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ) // my Update
);
