How do I stop post sliders showing sticky posts?

  • I am using the Evolve Theme, and I am using the post slider. ( I have the Visual Composer plug in installed, but in the background the theme seems to be using flexslider.

    I can set which posts I want to show up in my slider by adding in the IDs and that works fine, but it always adds the sticky posts to the beginning of the slider. I don’t want the sticky posts, I just want the specifics for my page.

    Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Any advice or help gratefully received. My theme does have option to add in custom CSS which I can cope with quite happily… but if this requires modifying PHP please assume total newbie!

    Can’t I’m afraid, its not in production yet, its behind my fire wall.

    The slider always includes the sticky posts as well as the specific IDs I’ve actually said I wanted.

    Is there a line of code I can add somewhere that will hide the sticky posts?

    Hi Helen,

    It seems that without having the site URL would be a bit tricky to guide you perfectly so if it is possible please provide us with some screenshots and more clarification about the sticky posts.

    Thanks.

    I’m not sure what else to provide. Its a sticky post – made sticky by clicking the tick box for sticky in word press. Whatever I do it always shows up in the flex slider in the evolve theme though I’m specifying exactly what posts I want in the flex slider.

    Is there any code to stop a sticky post appearing in a slider?

    Hi Helen,

    In such case without having no solid resources to solve your issue I can suggest you a way to get through with such occurring issue.

    By using your custom Css you may can sort out this specific problem. First you right click on that specific sticky post on live website of yours and then select inspect elements after getting into the inspector you will see some CSS code on the right bottom side.

    There you will see some styling of that specific class you add display: block; into that at that point you just have to copy the whole code including class name and go directly to the Appearance > Theme options > Custom CSS and paste the same code into that.

    The code and part will look like this screenshot:

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks.
