Sticky Post Problem

  • I have a sticky post problem with my blog, The Ambler.

    1. On Reading settings, “Your homepage displays” is set to “Your latest posts” and “Blog pages show at most” “1 post.”

    2. I made the post, Welcome to The Ambler, a sticky post.

    3. I then added another post, called Test. This is the problem: Instead of appearing as a separate post after Welcome to The Ambler, it appears at the bottom of Welcome.

    4. Also, when I use Older Entries, the first older entry is a duplicate of Welcome. It also appears at https://theveranda.ca/theambler/page/2/.

    5. I changed the theme I am using to another theme and have the same problem.

    7. Everything is fine when I stop Welcome from being sticky.

    Help, please!

  • Hi theambler,

    So we what have here is a sticky post followed with the latest post on the front page set to display Posts (blog) that is set to display 1 post per page. This seems like a bug but I guess it is actually a feature.

    The purpose of Sticky post is to always have it on top, and there can be more than one sticky post all of which will always be on top regardless of post count per page is set.

    This above, along with the problem of sticky post appears again in post lists in its chronological order can be solved with some php functions but I would not go that route because in this particular case the real problem is that we are not using sticky post for what it is.

    Considering the content on the front home page as it is right now, that welcome/intro messege belongs to page content type (not post), so we should have that as a page (not post) and set this as front home page, and make sure to have a link to Blog page in the navigation.

    Hope this helps.
