Sticky Blogposts when using a masonry gallery

Hey emilconsor,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Sticky posts are not included in the masonry’s default query, so you will have to adjust the query manually using the avia_masonry_entries_query filter.

add_filter("avia_masonry_entries_query", function($query, $params) {
	$include = array();
	$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

	$args = array(
	  'taxonomy' => $params['taxonomy'],
	  'post__not_in' => $sticky,
	);
	$posts = get_posts( $args );

	foreach($posts as $post) {
		$include[] = $post->ID;
	}

	$include = array_merge($sticky, $include);

	// convert values of the $include from string to int
	function sti($n)
	{
		settype($n, 'int');
		return $n ;
	}

	$include = array_map("sti", $include);

	$query['post__in'] = $include;
	$query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; // sort items based on the post__in value

	return $query;
}, 10, 2);

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

We could exclude the sticky posts when loading more posts but we have to modify the config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/av-helper-masonry.php file and replace line 1565..

$query = apply_filters( 'avia_masonry_entries_query', $query, $params );

,.. with:

$query = apply_filters( 'avia_masonry_entries_query', $query, $params, $ajax );

We can then use the post__not_in parameter to exclude the sticky posts when loading more posts.

add_filter("avia_masonry_entries_query", function($query, $params, $ajax) {
	if($ajax) {
		$query["post__not_in"] = array(1, 254);
	}
	return $query;
}, 10, 3);

Make sure to replace the array value with the actual IDs of the sticky posts.

Best regards,

Hi,

It is working correctly on our end. Did you add the $ajax parameter in the avia_masonry_entries_query within the query_entries function or method? There are two instances of the avia_masonry_entries_query filter in the av-helper-masonry.php file.

Best regards,
