This example is checking if it’s … Read more
If you look ate the source code where stickies are included, we find the following condition before WP_Query carries on to include sticky posts if ( $this->is_home && $page <= 1 && is_array($sticky_posts) && !empty($sticky_posts) && !$q[‘ignore_sticky_posts’] ) { The big game player is the is_home condition.

If you look at the source code in the WP_Query class, posts_per_page=-1 sets nopaging to true. if ( !isset($q[‘nopaging’]) ) { if ( $q[‘posts_per_page’] == -1 ) { $q[‘nopaging’] = true; } else { $q[‘nopaging’] = false; } } This in turn will … Read more
