  1. Go to your Dashboard.
  2. Click On posts, it lists all the available posts.
  3. Click on the Quick Edit button.
  4. Now click on the Make this post sticky
  5. Click On the Update button.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I should have specified that I am using Essential Grid to display my posts and although I have marked the post as ‘sticky’ it doesn’t show up as sticky in Essential Grid.

So I really need to have a way of having posts show up a sticky in Essential Grid.

Hey Alan,

In case of Essential Grid, please follow this thread Sticky posts in Essential Grid to make the post sticky in Essential Grid.

Hope this helps!

Ahh I see. I thought it would as easy as selecting a preference button to make it recognise a post as sticky.

I did try the solution on the link however it doesn’t seem to have worked. This may be due to my technical limitations though.

I think I’ll uninstall Essential grid and try and find another solution.

All the best

Hi Alan,

In terms of Sticky posts, Essential Grid shows it as WordPress archive shows.
In Essential Grid settings you need to select the post and if needed the category, and the grid will show all the posts along with the sticky posts.

In addition to that, Essential Grid, have the option to add the additional parameter to filter the source of posts, through which you can set the specific post and all.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks

Thanks for your time and the further information. I’ll see if I can use the additional parameters section to get the sticky posts to stick.

Hi there. I managed to get the functionality I wanted by installing a plugin call ‘Sticky Posts - Switch’ and without any other changes to the Essential Grid settings, Essential Grid now recognises sticky posts and pins them to the top of my blog post feed.
All the best
