Sticky posts by category in blog grid

Hey Maureen,

Please post us your login credentials (in the “private data” field), so we can take a look at your backend.

1. Install and activate ” Temporary Login Without Password “.
2. Go to ” Users > Temporary Logins ” on the left-side menu.
3. Click ” Create New “.
4. Add the email address for the account ( you can use (Email address hidden if logged out) ), as well as the ” Role ” making that the highest possible and the expiry about four days
   ( do be sure that we have enough time to debug ).
5. Click ” Submit “.
6. You’ll now have a temporary account. Please provide us here in the private section the URL, so we can login and help you out.

When your issue is fixed, you can always remove the plugin!
If you prefer to not use the plugin, you can manually create a admin user and post the login credentials in the “private data” field.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Maureen van Goethem,

Can you try adding this css code in functions.php of your child theme?

add_filter('avia_feature_image_slider_query', 'avia_feature_image_slider_query_mod', 10, 1);
function avia_feature_image_slider_query_mod($query) {
	$query['posts_per_page'] = 1;
	$query['post__in'] = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
	$query['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 1;
	return $query;
}

I tried adding it but I’m prevented from doing so and get this error:

Communicatie met de site niet mogelijk om te controleren op fouten, de PHP aanpassing is teruggedraaid. De PHP-bestandswijziging moet op een andere manier worden gewijzigd, bijvoorbeeld door SFTP te gebruiken.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Maureen van Goethem,

No, it has nothing to do with it and only affects related posts.
Try the solution in this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/sticky-posts-in-b-og-grid/#post-692059
just replace:

$query['posts_per_page'] = 6;

with

$query['posts_per_page'] = 8;

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Maureen van Goethem,

If you replace the 6 on this code to 8:

$query['posts_per_page'] = 6;

It should be changed to 8.
Do you still need sticky posts on https://www.kvtelstar.nl/nieuws/ ? or just on the frontpage?

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Maureen van Goethem,

Try to use this code instead:

add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', 'avia_post_slide_query_mod', 10, 2);
function avia_post_slide_query_mod($query, $params) {
  
  if( is_front_page() ) {
    $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['posts_per_page'] = 8;
    $query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; // sort items based on the post__in value
  }
  return $query;
}

Best regards,

return $query;
