The sticky posts are prepended on the first paginated part of the home page, so try this: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, function( $q ) { if ( $q->is_home() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->get( ‘paged’ ) > 1 ) $q->set( ‘post__not_in’, get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ) ); } ); to remove it from the other paginated parts of the home page.

This happens for users that can publish posts and edit others post’s, after the post is updated and the save_post hooks have fired. Note that core uses helper functions like stick_post(), unstick_post() and is_sticky() … Read more
Set it as a sticky post:
The sticky posts info is stored in the sticky_posts option in the options table. It’s stored as serialized array e.g. a:2:{i:0;i:1272;i:1;i:1995;} You can modify it via the Options API but there’s a way to bulk edit posts in the backend: 1. Select the Sticky view: 2.
