Sticky posts in Enfold blog elements

The admin part of the site is restricted by a proxy filtering out IPs, and I cannot add other IPs, is there another way that you can help me?

Hey,

Ok, I’ll try to explain – we use a featured image slider as a sort of “header” for our site, with only one slide (so it’s like a color section with an image and a title).

In other elements that display (multiple) blog posts, we can make any sticky posts appear before the other posts (like the expected behavior is, but Enfold doesn’t respect/follow) using this bit of code:

add_filter('the_posts', 'bump_sticky_posts_to_top');
function bump_sticky_posts_to_top($posts) {
    foreach($posts as $i => $post) {
        if(is_sticky($post->ID)) {
            $stickies[] = $post;
            unset($posts[$i]);
        }
    }
    if(!empty($stickies))
        return array_merge($stickies, $posts);
    return $posts;
}

This obviously won’t work on a query that only returns one result – our featured image slider – so we need a more viable solution.

So the question is really, why doesn’t Enfold respect sticky posts (in the way that the most recent sticky post will be displayed first in any case), and how can we ensure it does display the sticky post first in cases where sticky posts are outside of the query bounds (post nr. 11 in query e.g., while query only asks for 4 posts).

Hey, thank you, that works like a charm. :)
