Query Loop sticky only setting

I want to use the Query Loop block to show sticky posts at the top of my start page. It works as long as there are some sticky posts, but otherwise it seems to show all posts. Is this the intended behavior? I expected it to be empty in that case.

Hi @jneug ,

GB’s query loop follows the same behaviour as the WP query loop.

So yes, it’s the intended behaviour.

However, if you want to change its behaviour when there’s no sticky posts found in the loop, try the steps below:
1. Add an additional CSS class to the Grid block nested directly in the Query loop block, eg. sticky-post-loop.
2. Add this PHP code:
```
add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 'sticky-post-loop' ===  $block['attrs']['className']  )  {
        $sticky_posts = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
        if ( empty( $sticky_posts ) ) {
            $block_content = '';
        }
        return $block_content;  
    }

    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );
```

Thanks. I fixed it by modifying the query loop args like so:
```
add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    if ( isset($query_args['ignore_sticky_posts']) && $query_args['ignore_sticky_posts'] == 1 && count($query_args['post__in']) == 0 ) {
        $query_args['post__in'] = array(0);
    }

    return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );
```
