Can you explain the difference between this plugin and the Adhesive plugin? It seems like Adhesive is doing the same thing, but without the use of custom fields. Is there an advantage to your plugin over Adhesive?

Advantage: Less MySQL queries + Less php code execution => faster page loading. I think this reason is good enough to use this plugin.

Moreover Adhesive is definitely using custom field. When we are marking the post as sticky, it sets the custom field.

like adhesive also this plugin have a bad problem of compatibility with wordpress 2.1.2 and up versions, when i activate this plugin, also if i don't sticky any post, in the webpage the link of the next and previous entries disappear. please can you modify the plugin to delete this big problem?
thaks in advice!

How to stick your post? I don't understand.Give me an example for sticky a post,pls.Thank.

Enrico,

Thanks for feedback. That problem is solved.

Ivan,

Whatever post you want to stick, go to edit page for editing that post. At the bottom, you will see Custom Field, in Key value type STICKY and in Value field type 1, then press Add Custom Field button and save your post. Now that post will be on the top of every post when you visit your blog front page.

Hello,

How can I get more than one sticky on home page? Tried value=2, it did not work. I am capable getting 1 sticky on home page.

Thanks for support.

Robert,

Sticky Post supports only one sticky post on home page.

Greetings Vishal,
thanks for this plug in and after I loaded and activated it I still wasn't able to make it work. I did as you recommend (in the custom field Key=STICKY, Value=1) but it's still isn't working. Can you take a look? The WP blog is part of the overall site, Delight.com

best,

Lynda,

This plugin requires WP 2.1(not even 2.0) or greater version. Make sure that you have latest version.

my sticky post is shown twice in front page.
How do I fix it ? Please help me..

thanks before,

Vishal

Good Day. I'm running wp 2.13 have activated your plugin, picked a post added a field Key=STICKY (all caps) and Value=1 and still no sticky post. Can you help, Do you have any ideas what to do?

btw it's a great idea for a post and I can't wait to get it working.

Regards,

Robert

Very strange -- after adding your plugin, the text style changed to italic all through the site, but only in IE.

In Firefox, it only italicized the sticky post content.

I deleted it, tried again, and the problem was gone. Thanks.

I checked your blog and it is showing perfectly in IE6, FF 1.5. You may try to change your theme.

cool thanks for this, i will try it out on my blog

The plugin works perfectly for me. Thank you!

The sticky post is appearing twice on my home page as well. One at the top and one at the bottom. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm running WP 2.2.
Thank you.

WP 2.2
I've made a change on the post and since every trying to fix result in a double apparition of the post…

I am running WordPress version 2.1.2. I activated the plugin, added custom field STICKY with value of 1. I too get two appearances of the post at the top of the page and another at the bottom of the page. Any advice? Email me at zaney@zaneys.com with any suggestions

This plugin rocks, much better then Adhesive. The problem with Adhesive is that it removes the previous and next navigation link in the footer.

Hi, Everyone seems to be comparing this plugin with Adhesive. What about WP-sticky ? Better version of Adhesive. So let me ask Vishal, (with due respect for developing this great plugin) How does this plugin compare with WP-sticky ? Can u kindly throw some light on the pros and cons of both.

I'm running the plugin on my site an it works perfectly, THX very much!!!

It is working Great.

It is working Great.

Is there a place I can see this in action first before downloading the plug-in? Has an update been made to get more than one sticky on the homepage at a time?

Nice Site!

I'm trying to use the plugin but it does nothing. I added STICKY and value 1 to the gamesplanet blogstyle article but it does not stay in front.

Hi Vishal,
Thank you for the sticky.
I did everything by the book. My WP version is 2.2, sticky=1 etc...
It still does not show at the top :(

What am I missing?

Am using Wordpress 2.3 and this doesn't work... I think the new Database layout may have something to do with this...

Excellent idea for a plugin. However, it won't work for me (I have Wordpress 2.3). Does it work on existing posts or just new ones?

I installed the plugin and added the custom field and value. It does not seem to have any effect. Can you take a look please.

great plugin
works perfectly for me

Vishal you are doing GREAT

For those having problems after installing and adding the keywords and it doesn't work. I found a solution that worked for me.

I installed my wordpress into a subdirectory off the domain. ie www.domain.com/jci/ After installing it and adding the custom fields it didn't work.

This plugin expects the wordpress installation in the root of the domain. I had to edit the plugin file to get it to work.

I edited the file to account for that fact that when it's checking to see if it's the front page being displayed it would add my /jci to word count of the URI string.

Here's the original string in the file

if ((strlen($uri)==1) || (strlen($uri)<=11 && strpos($uri,'index.php')))

Here's my corrected for my particular installation

if ((strlen($uri)==5) || (strlen($uri)<=14 && strpos($uri,'index.php')))

This line will need to be edited based upon where you installed word press.

Unfortunately this plugin does not work correctly with wordpress 2.3.1.

I'm working with WP 2.2.1, this plugin works great, exactly as described in the installation procedure. Thanks for the plugin.

Cheers,
Niels

Vishal, can this be modified so that it makes a post STICKY for each ROOT Category?

I've been looking for such plugin and this is something I believe close to it.. well probably not so close but hope that you can help.

thanks in advance.

mr vishal, please visit Loadingvault.com in my opinion the best rapidshare search engine ever.

Dude. Brilliant plugin, works just as it should. Of the three I tried, yours fits the bill. Thanks.

Hi,
How can I make 3 posts go to top on blogs instead of 1 only?
Pls let me know.

Thanks! Works like a charm! :D

I second the question about making it a sticky post per category. Possible?

I installed this plugin and it now shows a double post how do you get rid of the double post? Thanks

I also have a problem with the sticky post showing up twice. Any thoughts?

It would appear that this plugin has problems with Wordpress 2.5?

I get the following error <code>
WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_posts' from one of the SELECTs cannot be used in global ORDER clause]
( SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.*, 2 AS N FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private') ) UNION ALL ( SELECT wp_posts.*, 1 AS N FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id WHERE wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'STICKY' AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = '1' ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 1) ORDER BY N, wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0,10
</code>

ONLY if Stickypost 1.1 is activated. With all other plugins active, error does not occur. I'm assuming a code change within WP2.5 has caused this issue?

This was on my test blog - test.chrismerriman.c

Just noticed there isn't a 'subscribe to comments' type plugin, nor e-mail field for when we submit comments. If you would like to trace this issue with my help at all, please do feel free to contact me - best address would be
personal AT chrismerriman DOT com

I must be missing something - when I activate this and don't have anything as a sticky I get the following error:

Sorry The Post You Are Looking For Had Been Deleted

and none of my pages, post display.

If I sticky a post it will come back with the same error - but if I sticky a page the page will show up but yet again no other posts, pages will.

Suggestions?

You say simple,
but the other sticky was a button called "Make this post sticky".

I really stuck my foot in my mouth. YOUR Sticky is vastly superior to the other choice. The other one almost needs it's own help files.

Now, I beg a question......can a second post be set to "2" or is the "1" a true false thing.....
Thanks for the cool & simple file.

It does not work with WP 2.5.1. I installed the plugin successfully, then set a custom field with the KEY as STICKY and the value as 1 to the post I want making sticky. It had no effect whatsoever.

Just an update: I installed the WP-Sticky plugin instead and that works great with 2.5.1. I recommend that plugin instead if this one does not work for you...

It would seem that when I activate the Sticky plug in (not even use it on a page) the Home page does not display. It gives me, "Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here." and then displays the Search option

(I am using Ad Clerum theme with 5 widgets on WordPress version 2.5.1.)

Same problem as Brad here, thank you for creating a plugin that messed up my blog...


This plugin should not be made available to the public.

Impressed. Wish I could learn more from you to develop
my blog for my cartoons, paintings, kavitartoons and articles posting. Your tutorials will help me. Loved your poems. Congratulations for your media exposure.

Same problem as Brad and Ed. Post was published but did not show up on the home page (index.php) After deactivating plugin post came up fine. Running WP 2.6.

Running WP 2.6. With this plugin activated the blog doesn't show any posts at all. Just says "sorry, no posts available".

Uber cool plugin. The best sticky plugin I have used out of all of them out there.
