I have the Univermag template with WordPress 4.4.2.
I want to combine the sticky posts with the actual news posts. Because the way it’s setup now, sticky posts are only on top in a javascript scroller and news posts are listed normally in the middle.
I need to have the sticky posts also show in the middle with the posts, by combined order of date. The posts are already showing by date, but I need the stick posts to show by date also.
I can’t tell you how this theme works unless I buy it, but often themes will give you the option to turn on or off certain features. Have you had a thorough look through all the settings that it has?
This one doesn’t have an option.
I am almost sure that the entire problem is in the index.php because the piece of code is this:
<?php $stickies = get_option('sticky_posts'); if( $stickies ) { $args = array( 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1, 'post__not_in' => $stickies ); global $wp_query; query_posts( array_merge($wp_query->query, $args) ); } ?> <?php if ( is_sticky() && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) : ?> <?php endif; ?>
If I remove that, the sticky posts display on the main page along with the rest of the posts. Except they are displayed on top only and don’t go in date order.
Sticky posts by definition ‘stick’ to the top of the page. If you want them to be ordered with the rest of the posts by date, you have to remove their ‘sticky post designation’, but then they won’t show in the scroller.
You would need to use custom code to make them sticky.
I know that, but how do I do it?
