    I have added a blog grid by shortcode:
    [av_blog blog_type='posts' link='category' blog_style='blog-grid' columns='3' contents='title_read_more' content_length='content' preview_mode='custom' image_size='portfolio' items='6' offset='0' paginate='no' conditional='']
    In functions.php I have written

    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;
 }

    When I tag a post as sticky, it works as long the post is within the newest 6 posts. Number 7 and higher don’t appear as sticky post. When I set items=’20’ in the shortcode it works for the first 20 posts.
    It seems to be a specific blog-grid-problem.

    When I use e.g. blog_style=’single-big’ instead of blog_style=’blog-grid’ stycky posts work fine in every case.

    Please can you help me, to solve this problem.

    Best regards,
    Günter

    Hi,
    meanwhile I have found a tolerably working solution at WP Codex:

    add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', 'avia_post_slide_query_mod');
function avia_post_slide_query_mod($query) {
 $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
 $query = new WP_Query( 'p=' . $sticky );
 return $query;
 }

    But sticky posts increase the number of intended posts per page (items=’6′ + 1 sticky post = 7).
    Is there a way to limit the shown posts beside Css-methods?

    Regards,
    Günter

    Hi,

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    We tested the code but it’s not working on our end. Please remove it then replace it with the following:

    // sticky posts
add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', 'avia_post_slide_query_mod', 10, 2);
function avia_post_slide_query_mod($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['posts_per_page'] = 6;
	$query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; // sort items based on the post__in value
	return $query;
}

    Best regards,
