Just had a quick play, and noticed that I think it was clashing with my theme.

Added the following to the theme “Additional CSS” box, and all is now well again!

span.pojo-sr-only.sr-only+svg{
	box-sizing:border-box !important;
	max-width:none !important;
	display:block !important;
	color:#fff !important;
	fill:#fff !important;}

Obviously change the colours #fff to whatever you need

Hope this helps…

Have you managed to fix this? I have just installed this, and found exactly the problem you describe above. I use this plugin on other sites, and it has worked fine, so really confused!

I got it to work eventually – this works for me (obviously try at your own risk etc. etc.)

I am confused by this – I thought that was the whole point of this plugin. Something has definitely changed in core functionality. This functionality was easy with a different plugin in the past, but that no longer works, and neither does this. Is there an easy code fix somewhere? perhaps using is_category()?

Summary:
1. Posts (sticky or not) should only show in category pages if they are in that category. 2. Sticky posts with that category should be at the top.
3. Sticky posts should not show at all on category pages they are NOT in – surely?
