sticky post

I know it’s been a couple of days, so maybe you pulled your sticky post or fixed it, but I’m not seeing it.

HI! Thats right, I set it back to normal. But I can change again and leave it with the sticky-problem “on” – it′s not like I have a million visitors a day – yet:)

Ok. First issue: you appear to have done all your custom styles on Twenty Fourteen, and not a child theme. This means that the next time you update TwentyFourteen, you will lose all your custom css.

Here are instructions about how to create a child theme: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

I’ve never seen this issue before, and I’m not seeing anything obvious to cause it — but I’m not a real CSS ninja. Sorry.

After you create your child theme, reinstall a fresh version of TwentyFourteen and check for this issue. If it disappears with a fresh version of TwentyFourteen, then you know it is something in your custom styles that is the conflict. If it still appears, then you might have a conflict with a plugin…

Of course, you could just start with testing for a plugin conflict:
Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

Hi, and thanks for replying!
I′m not sure though. that I quite follow; I have made merely no adjustments to the theme, only colors (I′m also not a ninja:)) So it would seem a little strange to me if any css should be the cause…?

I think I will try to deactive plugins first, it seems to me to be a more probable solution as I havent made any adjustment to the theme as I know of…

Thanks again!

Update: Resolved it by installing and using a widget that vil stick posts for me instead.

Glad you found a solution!

Can you tell me what widget ?

Sorry, can′t remember any more. I′ve changed theme and “moved on”. But I think I might just have been unaware that I had to mark the posts as “news” or likewise/otherwise in order for the wigdet to pick them out and display them as they were intended.

Not sure if there was any error with the widget after all.

Hmm ok, can you look at my page https://www.dslr-photography.de and tell me if thats the same problem you had?

Yeah, seems like exactly the same. OK; I think, if I remember correctly, you have to do at least three (minor) things: 1) Mark the posts as a category, in addition to “sticky” (if I remember correctly, the wigdet lets you choose what category you wnat to display on top), and 2) -and this is the important one; mark several posts the same way. Then you will see (hopefully) that the theme is made for up to three (one line) or six (two lines) posts displayed at the top. So the Shaded area kind of means that there is room for more posts. 3) You also have to – in the post edit section – to choose an image that should be accentuated with the post (this is not the word the theme uses, but I can′t remember what word it is: it should be an option to the right of the edit page (of the post).

This might hopefully help you solve it?

Thank you, I will try it today and let you (and others) know if it works ??

Yepp, do that. It really is working and solveable, so let me know.

OK, now I understood the principle (have a look at my page).
I just need three stickys with three featured images above them (no widget or plugin needed)
Thats the magic! ??

Thank you very much for your advices!

Exactly!
Great to be able to help, good luck ahead.

PS, there′s also the possibility to buy (not too expensive) themes, built on original themes like the one you use now, like I did: https://www.turrenn.net . Looks good and even better functionality regarding presentation of posts and pages. Only one hazzle is the developers are developers, not merchants:)

Ah ok cool, didn’t knew that.
I just started a week ago with this whole wordpress stuff, so I think there is still a lot of stuff I have to try in the future ??
