What normally happens when you add a post into a WordPress blog, the post appears at the top of the first page, then moves down the page then off the first page depending on the WordPress settings of how many post are to be displayed on the first page.

What I was looking for was the ability to keep an important post on the first page for a few days and to have some control over it. With the WP_Sticky plug-in, I can control how long the post remains on the first page. Let me explain how this is achieved in this video tutorial.

With the WP_Sticky plug-in, there are three settings, sticky posts, announcements posts, and the normal post setting.

Another of my favorite CPA Networks is Neverblue (click here to find out why).

‘Announcement posts’ are posts which will appear at the top of the page and stay there until the setting on the WP_Sticky plug-in are changed to Sticky or Normal.

Using the ‘Sticky posts’ setting, the post will only stay on top of all the posts for one day only.

Hopefully the following example will demonstrate the different settings:

Announcement
- Post 5 (Announcement Post)

29th Jan 2011
- Post 6
- Post 7
- Post 8

28th Jan 2011
- Post 4 (Sticky Post)
- Post 1
- Post 2
- Post 3

As you can see, Post 4 is set to a ‘sticky post’ and will stay on top of all posts that are posted on 28th Jan 2011 ONLY.

Posts that are posted after 28th Jan 2011 (eg. 29th Jan 2011) will be posted on top of the sticky post that was posted on 28th Jan 2011.

For Post 5, the ‘announcement post’, will stay on top of all posts until this setting is changed to either normal or sticky.
