I'm a bit stuck! I'm trying to show sticky posts before a load of other posts on my homepage. I've been using this code:
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
query_posts('$sticky&cat=5&posts_per_page=5&orderby=rand&order=DESC');
But it doesn't work!
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I think you have a couple of problems.
First, $sticky will only contain a comma separated list of post IDs, so it cannot be used in the query as you have it coded.
Second, I believe (but not 100% sure) that the orderby=rand will override the use of sticky posts.
You probably will need to have two separate loops to accomplish what you want.
You must log in to post.
