Sticky Post support in Genesis/child themes?

[Dan]

I noticed with Minimum Pro the sticky post feature in the "Publish" metabox indicates it only affects the front page layout. It does not stick posts to the top of their respective category archives or the blog page template. Is this correct? How are sticky posts usually implemented with Genesis themes?

Try this http://wordpress.org/plugins/category-sticky-post/

Or you can hand code it http://codex.wordpress.org/Sticky_Posts

Thanks, I'm familiar with the method and that plugin; I just wanted to know if Genesis themes typically use stickies for front page promotion only.

What I'd actually like to do at the moment is load sticky posts in the Genesis Featured Posts Widget. I haven't seen alternative post widgets as comprehensive and clean as GFPW. Only a few let you select sticky posts. Can't think of a good way to do this without forking GFPW.

Don't think you can do that without filtering the entire widget https://gist.github.com/GaryJones/48025d95b53d09140d46

Hrrm, thanks.

Genesis support tells me that stickies are not generally supported in category archives by any themes, Genesis or otherwise. I guess I was mistaken about the typical way the sticky status is implemented? -- I've never actually used it until now.
