Hi team,

I noticed that sticky posts are kept at top for a “normal” blog layout but not for grid and masonry layouts.
Is this really inteded or a bug?

Regards
Martin

Hi taikuli!

Yes that is intended. Sticky posts are not compatible with sorting. You can change the query on line 879 in /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/masonry-entries.php from this.
```
$query = array(	'orderby' 	=> 'date',
				'order' 	=> 'DESC',
				'paged' 	=> $page,
				'post_type' => $params['post_type'],
				'post_status' => 'publish',
				'offset'	=> $params['offset'],
				'posts_per_page' => $params['items'],
				'tax_query' => array( 	array( 	'taxonomy' 	=> $params['taxonomy'],
												'field' 	=> 'id',
												'terms' 	=> $terms,
												'operator' 	=> 'IN')));
```
To this.
```
$query = array(	
				'post_type' => $params['post_type'],
);
```
But that will disable a lot of Masonry features.

Best regards,
Elliott

Hm, no that change doesn’t help.
In fact I tried to break this function by adding a function call to eieie() (which I assume is nonexistent) and the Homepage still loads.
Hm.

I tried the Blog Element and the grid layout. It also does not respect sticky posts.
“single author” respects the sticky posts.

btw. I just noticed, the blog element “single author” shows sticky posts twice.
on the first page and later on mixed into normal posts according to their creation time.

Hi!

I’m sorry but this is not possible without creating another query for the sticky posts on the config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > masonry_entries.php file. Can you please provide a link to the single author blog posts with the sticky posts issue? We tested this on our installation and it’s only showing the sticky post once.

Cheers!

Take a look at http://gwl.wirsindtennis.de/ and check the single author layout on the bottom of the page.
Two sticky posts are displayed first and also displayed on the second page.

They are not doubled on http://gwl.wirsindtennis.de/blog/, but there is no paging.

Hi!

You can add this on functions.php so that the blog query will ignore sticky posts:
```
/**
 * Blog Query
 */
 
add_filter( 'avia_blog_post_query', 'avia_modify_blog_query', 10, 1);
function avia_modify_blog_query( $query ) {
	$add_query = array('ignore_sticky_posts' => 1);
	$query = array_merge($add_query, $query);
    return $query;	
}
```
I’ll ask Kriesi to take a look. Maybe, he can improved the query to include sticky posts.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi, I noticed that sticky posts are listed twice only if paging is enabled.

off topic: Maybe you also want to take a look at the separators for the posts metadata. I have disabled all but the Publishing date.
Now it displays the publishing date plus a superfluous slash. Example: 27 November 2014 /

Hey Martin!

Try adding this code to the Quick CSS:
```
span.text-sep.text-sep-date {
    display: none;
}
```
Cheers!

We just ran into this as well. Need to display the post grid and have stickies at the beginning. Not even sure ho I can hack it to get both in the same place. In this case, a city needs an official notice to stay at the front of the list for 6 weeks. Not sure why it is not possible, as it is part of the basic WP themes. Otherwise, people with these needs have to either give up a nice, ordered system, or make a separate grid area and have a bunch of awkward space (trapped white space).

Why can’t there be a checkbox to search first sticky posts, then display remainder in selected order?

Hi,

I’m sorry but you cannot display sticky posts in the grid layout. It’s possible but you have to create another query in the postslider.php file which is something that we won’t be able provide here. A workaround is to add a unique category to the sticky posts, add another blog posts element then select the category.

Thank you very much for this! The site we were going to use this for is using a different solution at the moment, but I am eager to try this on our testing site within the next week or so. Thank you for developing this.

It would be really cool to put this in the code snippets section, as it could be helpful to many developers

Thanks again!.
