ignore_sticky_posts not working with word press version 3.9.1

If you want to totally remove the sticky posts from the query, you need to use post__not_in.
The Codex has an example, which you can adapt to your needs:

$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
$args = array(
    'cat' => 3,
    'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
    'post__not_in' => $sticky,
    'paged' => $paged
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

ignore_sticky_posts doesn’t remove sticky posts from the query; it just ignores the fact that they are sticky, and lists them in their natural position.
