Hi,

On my front home page I would like to display only the sticky posts while leaving the regular blog page intact displaying all posts. On the front page I intent to use a Grid Layout blog with one column.

Any suggestions?

Hey kihlbaum!

Try adding this to the bottom of your /enfold/functions.php file.
```
add_action( 'parse_query', 'enfold_customization_homepage_sticky_posts' );
function enfold_customization_homepage_sticky_posts( $query ){
	if ( is_home() ) {
		$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
		set_query_var( 'post__in', $sticky );
	}
}
```
Best regards,
Elliott

Thanks a lot! However, that code resulted in the opposite: All posts showing on the front page (static page), but only Sticky Posts on my blog page.

I guess “is_home” returned the blog page instead of the home page.

I might add that the front page has page number 13.

I tried to exchange the boolean to “is_front_page” but that did not work either.

Hi!

Try creating another separate page for your homepage and use the blog shortcode there as well. Make sure your not using any static pages in Dashboard > Settings > Reading.

Addition to previous post:
Using “is_front_page” results in all posts beeing listedin both the front page AND blog page.
Using “is_home” results in all posts beeing listed at front page, but only sticky posts beeing shown in the blog page.

Currently “is_front_page” is used in functions.php.

Hey!

I was trying to set it back to is_home() but I didn’t see the update button in your editor. You had a static page set in Dashboard > Settings > Reading which I think was causing problems.

I have now changed the functions.php to is_home(). Seems to be the same problem.

Hey!

Hmm, not sure why that’s not working but let’s make this easier. Instead of using sticky posts create a new category called “featured” or “homepage” and use that with the blog posts shortcode instead. If you do not want to create a category then you can also use post tags.

Thanks for all your efforts! I finally got it to work using the plugin Ultimate Posts Widget.
