Category Sticky Post

[kathyosborne]

I have a few different category blog pages on this website. I made posts that I want to be sticky. When the standard wp "sticky" didn't work, I tried a few category sticky plugins, such as this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-sticky-post/

Its still not sticking to the top.

For example: http://www.kodyobear.com/awards/

The "awards" post should be first. Then the "Congratulations to Hope Craig for receiving the Kody O’Bear Community Student Award" should be under it.

Any advice? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and can't find any other solutions on the boards...
Thanks!
Kathy

You're not doing anything wrong. This is how WordPress works. To have category sticky posts, you have to create a custom loop. WordPress designed sticky posts to display at the top of the first page of the standard loop only. https://codex.wordpress.org/Sticky_Posts. You would have to create a custom category page and include a custom loop like the following before the standard loop:

$sticky_posts = new WP_Query( array(
    'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )
) );

if ( $sticky_posts->have_posts() ) : while ( $sticky_posts->have_posts() ) : $sticky_posts->the_post() );
    // Loop markup here
endwhile; endif;
// IMPORTANT
wp_reset_postdata();

Thanks. I'm curious why the plugins won't work with this?

So - just to clarify - I need to create a custom category for each category for each one (right now two of my category pages need different sticky notes) that would need a sticky note at the top?

Thanks!
