    Hello!

    I want to show max. 2 sticky posts on my blog in a specific loop. But if there is only one or no sticky post, the loop shouldn’t show “normal”posts.

    But the following code shows “normal” posts if there are not 2 or more sticky posts:

    $args   = array(
        'numberposts'         => 2,
	'post__in'            => get_option( 'sticky_posts'),
	'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
        );
$sticky_posts = get_posts( $args );

    Thank you a lot in advance!
    Daniel

    “numberposts” has been deprecated, please use “posts_per_page” instead.

    When you pass an empty array (no stickies) as ‘post__in’, the entire query var is ignored and you’ll get the 2 latest posts instead. To avoid this, get the sticky_posts option before doing anything. If the array length is 0, skip over the entire process (query and loop). Otherwise use the returned array as the ‘post__in’ arg.

    Thank you very much @bcworkz ! It works! Great!

    For others who are interesed, this is my working snippet for this function.

    if(count(get_option('sticky_posts'))>1){
        $args   = array(
                'posts_per_page'         => 2,
                'post__in'            => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
                'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
        );
        $sticky_posts = get_posts( $args );
}elseif(count(get_option('sticky_posts'))>0){
        $args   = array(
                'posts_per_page'         => 1,
                'post__in'            => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
                'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
        );
        $sticky_posts = get_posts( $args );
}
