Sticky posts don’t work

And no, I didn’t check the sticky posts option in the settings.

Hi there,

Is this WPSP post list sorted by a tag or category?

If so, that may be causing it.

Here’s what Tom has to say about this “bug”:

Sticky posts in general have issues whenever you add any sort of category/term. This is why they don’t work by default on archive pages: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/117279/sticky-posts-not-sticking-to-top-of-category-archive

Not sure what the best solution would be here, unfortunately. The solution at the URL I shared wouldn’t really work in this specific scenario.

I just did some looking around on how to target specific posts to order them, but couldn’t come up with anything. The order and orderby params in the WP Query aren’t great, unfortunately.

Thank you for the info. You can close this thread.

Best,
Thorsten

Sorry, we couldn’t offer a specific fix for this.

Consider asking in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/wordpress for any work for this. It’s worth a try.

Stay safe! ??
