   The plugin is setup to show it automatically at the top of the Front Page and only in the category the post belongs to. So if you have it stored in category A and B, on the category view for C, you won't see it, but you will when viewing A and B.

   hbalagh: the sticky posts plugin works by pushing the sticky posts to the very top of the posts loop. If you want only a sticky post to show on your front page you may need to make a custom post query.

   Unless I'm misunderstanding you, saying show 1 posts in options should do what you want. Why don't you want to do that?

   Best to create a custom index page, I'd guess. The 'sticky' approaches all just change the ordering of the master posts list. You want a custom front page that only shows posts marked as sticky, which requires more than any of the plugins can (easily) do as written...
