  Hi. There doesn’t seem to be a “sticky” function anymore. When I now post a blog, I have no way of making sure that it sticks to the top.

  Help, please.

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

  Hi there,

  There should still be a sticky function. When you go to publish your post, click on the published drop down menu and you should see the sticky post.

  Hope this helps.

  I just posted something and had the same problem. I can’t undo the post that is currently sticky and apply it to the newest. I also can’t find the advanced settings any longer. What’s up?

  I’m having the same problem with my blog. I had a “sticky” post at the top of my page. Then the other day, I posted a new article. This new article went to the top of the page, replacing the “sticky” post. I tried to fix this issue, but could not find the sticky option anywhere. It’s gone.

  Have any of you consulted the relevant support doc at post visibility?
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  To provide specific help we need to know exactly what the post title or URL is.

  Have you tried using the classic editor?

  You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and for viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  To create posts in the classic editor for you that link is

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts one can hover over any post title and click the Edit link. and proceed with editing.

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

  The sticky function in the new editor can be found by clicking the little down arrow to the left of the date (or the words “New Draft” for a new post):

  

  Once you click it the panel will open up and you’ll see the sticky option:
