Sticky Posts in WordPress
Posted by: Jennifer In: Call for help|WordPress Bookmarks to Plugins
I'm trying to create a sticky post (as in, make one post stay on top above "newer" posts – until I indicate otherwise)
Previously, I had blogged this link on Weblog Tools Collection – I now notice there is an update post which points you to oomsonline to these instructions. However upon reading in the instructions that it required a manual edit to the database (and I was in a lazy mood) I decided to look further.
On the wiki I found a link here on the wp support boards which linked to another type of plugin. I gave it a try – but ran into problems. (it simply didn't seem to work)
Then I found "Adhesive" which I also tried, but ran into problems. (It creates a checkbox that you check if you want it to be sticky – however, I would check the checkbox, and it wouldn't stay checked after I saved my changes.)
Granted – I suspect at least SOME of these problems may be in part because my index.php page is heavily customized. Aside from the confusion of the multiple plugins/hacks that seem to do the same thing – are there others out there that have had better success? Is the first one to weblogtoolscollection reliable enough that it's worth the manual change to the database?
UPDATE: Not quite sure what was going on before – but Adhesive suddenly started to work for me. And I'm very happy with it. 😀
