Seamless Sticky Custom Post Types

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   A very nice plugin enabling without further ado a functionality that should have been native. If you’re actively using the sticky post functionality for CPTs, it might be tricky to use some queries. For example, this will not work $featured_post_args = array( 'post_type' => 'custom_post', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ), 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ); and you need to use something like array_filter(get_option( 'sticky_posts' ), function($id) { return get_post_type($id) == 'custom_post' && get_post_status($id) == 'publish'; }); But this is a problem of WP itself and not of the plugin.

   It’d be great if this plugin could be code reviewed for compatibility and security with 4.7.1. Plugin works, but aging “last update” is concerning.

   Like many others I really wish this functionality (support for Sticky Custom Posts) would be added to the core – it makes no sense that it isn’t. That said, without core support for this basic function, THIS plugin is the best option available, and just does exactly that – it adds the “Stick this post to the front page” checkbox to your registered custom post types. The folks who have given this a low rating appear to not understand how to actually USE sticky posts – WP does not do anything other than provide a mechanism to ‘flag’ a post as sticky, or not sticky. It’s then up to the THEME developer to write the necessary loops to DISPLAY sticky posts as the site owner wants them to appear. If your Theme doesn’t manage the sticky posts the way you want, and you don’t have the ability to add code to your functions (which can be as simple as copy & paste if you find the right code), then simply choose another Theme – don’t blame this plugin developer for a lack of Theme support. This plugin deserves a 5-star rating because it does exactly what it claims to do, and it’s free. What more can you ask?
