FAQ’s
1) I activated plugin but cannot see sticky post.
Check your wordpress version. It must be WP 2.1 or greater or WPMU 1.1 or greater. Second you check the custom field name and make sure that you spelled it correct.
2) I would like to activate Yearly/Monthly/Weekly Repeater Plugin as well
Dont do that mistake. It is going to throw mysql error.
3) I got wierd mysql error
This plugin changes query for showing posts. It is possible that you have another plugin which also modifies the query and hence the resultant query is a junk query which MySQL is not recognizing. so now you have to deactivate any one of the plugins.

Same here…this plugin messed my weblog..what the…
I tried sticky posts on the latest 2.9.2 WP, and it doesn’t seem to work.
I really needed to find a workaround to the fact that the “Stick post” concept does not work when the first page of the website is static, and a different blog page is set in the “reading settings”.
Thanks for any help

Thanks Perishable for your reply and please tell me one more thing that for SEO and site speed The Old Fashioned Way way is good or i would use a plugin and please tell me how to add Notify me of follow-up comments via email again, thanks for your precious advice in advance.
After following this tutorial, I couldn’t get a couple of things to work. The permalinks will not work with the register_post_type() and arrays outlined in a function; I simply removed this and permalinks worked fine
Thanks for the plugin! Works perfectly fine for me
