Sticky Post and Shortcodes

    Hi,

    I already had a intense chat about the following problem with the Theme developer. They assured me, that this might have to do with the Core. I try to describe it as best I can (with screenshots it would be much easier)

    The newest posts on my start site are defined by a short code (post_limit=4). When I define a sticky post the post limit increases to 5. Okay, This is not nice, but I can help myself be reducing the post limit to “3”.

    BUT: In some posts I show related posts by selecting the IDs. Nethertheless the sticky post is displaied on the first place. This is not, what I wanted and in some cases senseless.

    Please have a look to this post:

    The first post is the sticky post, the second was defined by an ID.

    Can I do something to prevent that the sticky post will be displaied in the Shortcode (with IDs)? Or do I have I to accept this, because it’s on the Core and beyound my control?

    Thank you.

    What you’re describing is normal behavior.

    Sticky Posts will _always_ be displayed first, no matter what order is set.

    The intent of the Sticky Post is for information that you want your readers always to encounter first, so you might need to rethink what you’re using them for.

    Hi James,

    that’s what my theme-developer told me, too.

    Sticky Posts will _always_ be displayed first, no matter what order is set.

    I agree with that. BUT, when I define special posts, which should be display does not mean that the sticky post also should be display. That is the thing I don’t want, whether this is the normal behavior or not. Is there a way to suppress this?

    There is no need für me to rethink for what I’ll using sticky posts.

    Thank you.

    There is no way that I know of to suppress that behavior, as sticky posts are intended to be displayed above all posts.

    Hi James,

    on my blog page is that okay and a very nice possibility. But (I repeat myself) not on pages with a special shortcode. I have to accept that.

    Thank you.
