My sticky post won't stick

    Hello everyone,

    I set up a blog yesterday and have only two posts – one with the “stick to top” option selected, the other not. But the “sticky” one resolutely appears underneath the other one.

    Is there something I’m missing..?

    Thanks!

    Jonathan

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Apologies – wrote that in a rush. My blog is

    cp2021.wordpress.com

    The sticky post should be the one beginning “task 1”

    The non-sticky post is the other one.

    Hi Jonathan,

    I see the sticky post, Task 1: Out of my window, appearing first on your front page:

    https://d.pr/i/7Xwcm5

    Can you tell me where you’re looking where you see them appearing out of order?

    If you’re looking at the same page, then it could be a caching issue, so check if clearing your browser cache makes any difference.

    Hello – thanks for replying! In the end I did a workaround by using the “choose specific posts” button. I have just taken that off and they are back to how they were – if you wouldn’t mind having another look?

    Hello there,

    Sure thing – this is what I see here: https://d.pr/i/ZXcrD0

    The post “Out of My Window: 1” appears first.

    Is this the intended outcome here?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Following as I’m having the same problem.

    Hi @compaidth

    After a closer look, I see we have an open issue reported to our developers that notes that sticky posts do not work within the Blog Posts Block.

    They do work if you set your site to use the blog feed template, and you can see in my video here, if you set your blog page to show posts, the sticky post is “featured” and stays stuck to the top.

    See video at this link: https://d.pr/v/vdLY7n

    While we work on the issue of sticky posts not showing correctly in the Blog Posts Block, you can get around this by adding a second blog posts block above the main one — then change it’s display settings to “Choose Specific Posts” to manually sticky/highlight posts at the top of the page.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Hello staff-totoro (and everyone else) – that’s good to know, and such an obvious workaround that I’m slightly annoyed with myself I didn’t think of it! Thank you very much.
