[Resolved] Stickt post on Generatepress Homepage

[Joe]

Hello-

I am trying to use the WP Show Posts plugin on my GeneratePress website, but the post I want to be sticky is not behaving that way, and is getting pushed off by new posts.\

Thank you so much!

[Joe]

Sorry to be a pain, but if you could advise Tom that would be great!

Hi there,

I’m not seeing any sticky posts on the page – they should have a sticky-post class if it’s set. Can you confirm which post is set as a sticky post?

Hi Tom-

Thanks, the post titled “The Reason Behind Three Tuna Subs” was set as a sticky post in the back end.

Thanks!

Can you double-check that it’s still set that way? It’s missing the sticky-post class.

Sorry, it absolutely is set like that in the back end. Is this because I am using the shortcode from the plugin?

[Joe]

It applies the sticky class on a test page I set up, and then made it the WordPress default post page:

So maybe something is getting lost in the plugin?

[Tom]

I just tested the plugin and sticky posts are working normally.

Maybe you have a plugin activated which is causing the issue?

Thanks Tom, I will look into this.

[Joe]

Hmmm, nope. Deactivated all plugins except the ones that should go together and still having issues. Do you mind telling me how you set things up when you implemented the plugin?

[Joe]

I have no idea what is causing this, deactivated all plugins and tried it on another site and it worked

[Tom]

So you’ll want to reactivate things one by one until the issue comes back. It’s likely something is conflicting with the query.

It could also be a custom function on your site if you have any.

Ok, looks like I was able to isolate the problem.

It does not seem to be a plugin conflict.

When I do not specify a category to display in the show posts list, the sticky post works- however, I have it set to display six posts from the “featured” category, the sticky post function does not work.

Thanks!

[Joe]

So to summarize, the sticky post does not seem to work when posts are filtered on the Show Posts plugin.

[Joe]

Let me know if you have any ideas for a fix/work around to this.

thanks!
