Dynamic Posts (Minimal) - How to make a "sticky post"

[standupworld]

Hello, I am using the Dynamic Posts (Minimal) block to feed the homepage here: https://standupworld.com/

Can you please tell me how to make the 1st post remain sticky if needed so that if new posts are added the 1st post doesn’t change but the new posts still go under it. Thanks much!

Hello @standupworld,

Thanks for writing to us.

Regretfully there is no option for that at the moment but you can achieve it through the looper provider query. I would suggest you set the Looper Provider as Query Strings.

Add this query string there in the WP Query field.

post_type=post&post_status=publish&ignore_sticky_posts=0&posts_per_page=18

Please feel free to change the posts_per_page value as per the post number that you want to display, set the ignore_sticky_posts value as 0 would include the sticky posts at the top, or if you set the ignore_sticky_posts value as 1 it would exclude the sticky posts from the list.

Thanks

OK great this worked but I had to alter how I was pushing the feed from 5 post columns. Can you explain how to have the posts conform to “masonry”, the height on these is all set to be the same causing kind of weird gaps because I set it to 3 across

Hello Michael,

Regretfully there isn’t an option that you can arrange the Row-Columns into a Masonry Layout. You will have to use the Grid element instead if you want to have a Masonry layout. Perhaps this advanced video tutorial can help you:
