wp_query should show stickies first

Well for starters, the query arg showposts has been replaced by posts_per_page since WP v2.1 I don’t think any of your query args are being ignored (well, maybe save showposts; I haven’t checked to see if backwards compatibility support still exists for the arg). That said, I do not know what value your $top_row_posts variable … Read more

Keep sticky posts out of query unless they have featured image

Per the Codex article on WP Query: ignore_sticky_posts (boolean) – ignore sticky posts or not. Default value is 0 – don’t ignore sticky posts.

Front page should display only one category of posts including sticky post with custom featured post box

This may only be part of the problem. That is quite a bit of code to read (and you should post relevant code inline so that the question is not dependent on an external site) and your description is a bit hard to follow, but… You should not be using a secondary query at all … Read more

How can I make a custom post type sticky?

Your code runs only on post type archive pages. Unless your home page is a post type archive (doubtful) this code won’t run. Change this: if ( is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive() ) { To this: if ( is_main_query() ) { And see what happens. The code will execute on every main query — every page–, including … Read more

Sticky post appears twice

What you describe is not an issue but normal WordPress behaviour. When you mark a post as a sticky it will be at the top of the list and it will appear in it’s original postition as well, unless the original position is on the first page. A sticky will appear at the top of … Read more

Move sticky posts down in main loop

You have to change the order in $wp_query->posts. Compare it to the values from get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ). Example: function move_stickies_down( $num = 1 ) { global $wp_query; if ( empty ( $wp_query->posts ) ) return; $stickies = get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ); if ( empty ( $stickies ) ) return; $sticky_posts = $top = $after = array(); … Read more

Exclude Current and Sticky Post

Whenever an array of arguments is a function parameter in a WP core function it is parsed via wp_parse_args and almost always extracted into single variables.

3 Posts in Loop, Show Stickies First

Give this a try. It replaces query_posts(), which you should never use (it kills unicorns) with WP_Query. Basically it first queries your sticky posts and then, if there were less than your required 3 posts, it will perform another query for the relavent number of posts. /** Grab the sticky post ID’s */ $sticky = … Read more
