    Hi Tom,

    on the frontpage I have 2 posts of which the second one in the list is supposed to be sticky. Right now the post is not sticky. What might be the reason? I am using the latest version of GeneratePress.

    Best regards,
    Thorsten

    And no, I didn’t check the sticky posts option in the settings.

    Hi there,

    Is this WPSP post list sorted by a tag or category?

    If so, that may be causing it.

    Here’s what Tom has to say about this “bug”:

    Sticky posts in general have issues whenever you add any sort of category/term. This is why they don’t work by default on archive pages: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/117279/sticky-posts-not-sticking-to-top-of-category-archive

    Not sure what the best solution would be here, unfortunately. The solution at the URL I shared wouldn’t really work in this specific scenario.

    I just did some looking around on how to target specific posts to order them, but couldn’t come up with anything. The order and orderby params in the WP Query aren’t great, unfortunately.

    Sorry, we couldn’t offer a specific fix for this.

    Consider asking in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/wordpress for any work for this. It’s worth a try.

    Stay safe! 🙂
