@Chris_O is right… currently sticky posts are not supported in custom post types so it must have something to do with the theme you are using.

Have you considered using the RSS feed to import posts? Another possible solution might be to use the export feature, the output is an xml file though not js.

In order to do that, put the following code in your theme’s functions.php: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘get_parent_category_posts’ ); function get_parent_category_posts($query){ if (is_category() && is_main_query()){ $curr_cat = get_query_var(‘cat’); $query->set(‘category__in’, array($curr_cat)); } }
