  • customized order of the column showing the switch icon
  • use only built-in WordPress functions

No Support, and Plugin Doesn't Work With CPT

By Michael (mgparisi) on February 19, 2024

I'd hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function and provides no method to contact. The Plugin Works, but it doesn't respect Custom Post Types. All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom post types. So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT "Forums"

Working plugin with latest WP version

Good plugin thank you

Excellent work!

By Dmitriy (dimchik) on August 23, 2022

Clean and simple implementation, super easy to use, excellent UI, exactly what I was looking for. Using native wp functions is the icing on the cake. Love this!

Just Awesome!

Really the plugin is very helpful that saves me 10 hours of work!

much developer love

By Jules Colle on April 18, 2021

I was just getting ready to implement this myself. Very happy you saved me the trouble! The ability to click the stars in the admin interface is also a super nice addition. Wonderful work! Thank you so much! PRO tip: Although, I couldn't find it documented anywhere, as a developer you can get a list of all the sticky posts with get_option('sticky_posts')

background color issue

By webgalway on March 25, 2021

it works well but had to uninstall as I could not remove grey background which was not covering full width of the post excerpt, tried changing it in settings but it still kept the grey bg after setting it to white in the settings edit - tried it on another site and post formatting was messed up - so it is quite buggy

Simply amazing
