Sticky Posts / “Posts per Page” Total

  • Hi Tom, I haven’t been able to find this answer in the support topics, but please forgive me if I accidentally overlooked it….

    I have created a section in which I’d like to display only three blog posts. However, if I have one or more sticky posts, the section includes sticky post(s) plus three additional posts, instead of limiting to a maximum of three posts total. I’d prefer not to select the “ignore sticky posts” option. Is there a way force the maximum to three posts?? The workaround, of course, is just to manually change the number of posts to show depending the number of current sticky posts (i.e. – if no posts are currently marked sticky, then show 3 posts; if one sticky post, then show 2 posts; etc…). However, it would be great if there was a way to not have to change this manually each time.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Meg,

    Just so I understand correct..

    If you set it to show 3 posts, but there’s 2 sticky posts, the list ends up showing 5 posts?

    If so, that sounds like a bug that needs fixing.

    Let me know ??

    Hi Tom,

    I originally discovered the problem when working on a redesign project for a client, and that website is now live. The section using WP Show Posts is near the bottom of the homepage – https://www.kenyaconnect.org

    There are currently no sticky posts on this site, therefore no problems here now. If it is helpful for troubleshooting the issue, I still have a separate development site for this project and could send a link with a demo of the problem.

    Thanks for your time.

    Meg
