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.
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!
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.
