Copy and paste this function into the function.php file under current theme. // Create a new filtering function that will add where clause to the query function filter_where( $where=”” ) { // posts in the last 30 days $where .= ” AND post_date > ‘” . date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-30 days’)) . “‘”; return $where; } Paste … Read more
You could simply follow the example from the Codex: $sticky = get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ); $query = new WP_Query( ‘p=’ . $sticky[0] ); The variable $sticky will hold an array of IDs, and you access the first sticky post via $sticky[0]. Then you need the WordPress Loop: if ( $query->have_posts() ) { while ( $query->have_posts() ) … Read more
You might try $query->set( ‘ignore_sticky_posts’, 1 ); to stop the sticky posts from being prepended.
You will want to instruct the query to ignore sticky posts on category archives. function no_sticky_cats_wpse_125862($qry) { if ($qry->is_main_query() && $qry->is_category()) { $qry->set(‘ignore_sticky_posts’,true); } } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’no_sticky_cats_wpse_125862′);
Your variable $postvariable in while loop skips, first post. Try this, <ul> <li>[widget id=”text-8″]</li> //short code to display sticky news <?php **//To display sticky on top** $paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1; $sticky= get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ); $args = array( ‘cat’ =>255, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, ‘post__not_in’ => $sticky, //’paged’ => $paged, … Read more
You can use the conditional tag, is_sticky() to check whether or not a specific post is a sticky post or not. You can try the following inside your loop if( is_sticky() ) { //Display your desired image }
As I said in the question post, I finally solved it by looking into the $_POST global. There’s a $_POST[‘sticky’] field (valued as ‘sticky’) that is there just when a Post is sticky or is being made sticky, and it’s not when a post is not sticky or is being unsticked.
Ok, it was simple… unstick_post( $post_id ); Thanks to https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/54052/65424
Sticky posts are a pain in the butt, and is not properly implememnted IMHO. The source code clearly shows that sticky posts are only moved to the top on page one of the homepage (or any custom instance of WP_Query which emulates the homepage), sticky posts does not get removed from the paged pages. This, … Read more
Ok, this might be overcomplicating things a bit, but at least it should work (untested). Just call the function like so get_adjacent_without_sticky( get_the_ID(), true); // get previous post get_adjacent_without_sticky( get_the_ID(), false); // get next post This could have been solved easily, if get_previous_post() allowed for an ID to pass and not only run it in … Read more
