  I have two sticky posts just now. I thought that they would stay on the front page of the blog in the list by date (currently under ‘new notices’). However, the post about the calendar has now left this list despite being sticky because the number of ‘notices’ has gone beyond the number set to be displayed.

  What am I missing?

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

  sorry -it seems now to have sorted itself out. (I had cleared the cache and it had persisted but it now seems fine.)

  Hi Scott, the sticky option only applies to posts displayed on the home page itself; it doesn’t affect posts displayed inside a widget.

  One alternative you could do would be to add a Links widget called “Important Notices”, and put links to the two posts in there. These articles offer instructions for doing that:

  Please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can do.
