The issue is that you limit query to the two possible posts, but by default it will ignore the future one (since that’s the point of it not being published yet). Also the ID order is not guaranteed to be same as date order. ID is reserved when post is first created but date it … Read more
I think the answer to your questions lies on the following webpage. Its author (Tareq Hasan) faced the same problem as we do and found a solution. https://tareq.co/2013/01/sticky-posts-in-custom-post-type-archives/ Basically, you need to install the plugin you already have (Sticky Custom Post Types) and add a filter: (I paste the code here so if the page … Read more
you could use wp_list_pluck(); if ( $exclude_featured ) $args[‘post__not_in’] = wp_list_pluck( $exclude_featured->posts, ‘ID’ ); $args[‘posts_per_page’] = 999; query_posts( $args ); endif; while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); …
This is doable, and as I stated in a comment, you need to follow the following steps Get a count the amount of sticky posts. This can be done by simply counting get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ) which holds the ID’s of the sticky posts in the form of an array You would also need to get … Read more
You can use this code: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_sticky’ ); function exclude_sticky( $query ) { if ($query->get(‘paged’) == 0) { $sticky = get_option(‘sticky_posts’); $num = get_option(‘posts_per_page’); $extras = $num – count($sticky); $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, $extras ); } }
Strange that stickies aren’t completely unset from the main loop on paged pages but only on the first page. If we look at the source, we will see that stickies are only unset from the main loop if they are on the first page. So we have two options here depending on what you exactly … Read more
In addition to CSS you could try to unstick each post as soon as it has been made sticky (untested): add_action( ‘post_stuck’, function( $post_id ) { unstick_post( $post_id ); } ); If you’re looking for another approach, than hiding it from the UI with CSS, then consider using custom post types instead of the post … Read more
That page has exactly what you need: Display just the first sticky post, if none return nothing: $sticky = get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ); $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post__in’ => $sticky, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1 ); query_posts( $args ); if ( $sticky[0] ) { // insert here your stuff… } Source: http://codex.wordpress.org/Sticky_Posts Then add your normal … Read more
As noted in the trac ticket, you need to add that UI element in yourself. If you’re still looking for it, I made a plugin to add custom post type sticky support, available here.
It’s not stored as attribute, but as list of all stickies. Snippet from core: $sticky_posts = get_option(‘sticky_posts’); So look for the option and then use IDs to retrieve posts.
