sticky-post

This may get a bit complicated, I would recommend not adding the sticky feature to other post types if you want to query them specifically, and instead using post meta to designate custom types as “sticky”. If you use the sticky feature on multiple post types, you’ll get unexpected results with the following code, as … 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 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′);

Ok, it was simple… unstick_post( $post_id ); Thanks to https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/54052/65424

Your code looks odd to me, typically to insert something between posts you add a counter and count each loop, then add custom code on a particular count, this is for the main loop, for a non main loop or secondary loop us wp_query. <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php $count = 0; ?> <?php … Read more

Further upgrade: just built a class to place in functions.php or maybe in a plugin. I did that mainly because I want almost always have sticky posts, probably in more loops per page. So got a lot of duplication. Therefore here is a basic class, that certainly can be exapanded/perfectioned some way, but for my … Read more

Use is_sticky( $post_id ) to test if a post is a sticky post: if ( is_sticky() ) echo ‘I am sticky!’; if ( is_sticky( 123 ) ) echo ‘The post with the ID 123 is sticky!’;

You can use a simple script which you run once and remove. The idea is to replace the sticky post array with an array of the 4 desired ID’s PHP 5.4+ version – short array syntax add_action( ‘init’, function () { // Define our new array $stickies = [1,2,3,4]; // Change to match your own … Read more
