Grid layout – keep post on top

Hey Uli,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Yes, unfortunately, the grid layout doesn’t support sticky posts by default. This is still possible, but you’ll need to add the following modification to the functions.php file.

// include sticky posts in grid layout
add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', function ($query, $params) {
    $sticky_posts = get_option('sticky_posts');

    if (empty($sticky_posts) || !is_array($sticky_posts)) {
        return $query;
    }

    $sticky_posts = array_map('intval', $sticky_posts);

    if (!empty($query['post__in'])) {
        $query['post__in'] = array_unique(array_merge($sticky_posts, $query['post__in']));
    } else {
        $posts = get_posts([
            'post_type'      => $query['post_type'],
            'post_status'    => 'publish',
            'posts_per_page' => $query['posts_per_page'],
            'orderby'        => $query['orderby'],
            'order'          => $query['order'],
            'post__not_in'   => $sticky_posts,
            'fields'         => 'ids',
        ]);

        $query['post__in'] = array_merge($sticky_posts, $posts);
    }

    $query['orderby'] = 'post__in';

    return $query;
}, 10, 2);

Best regards,
Ismael
