   This may or may not be related to an issue I'm having getting more than 2 "sticky" posts to appear on my site's home page, but I was wondering what it means when "Standard" appears next to a post on the All Posts listing. It's the first time I've seen it and searches here and via Google don't reveal any conversations about that.

   Is there a setting for a post that makes that appear? What does it mean? Would it be the cause of suddenly not being able to display more than 2 sticky posts on the home page, despite no changes to the post output code on that page?

   Thanks for any help you can give.

   try
   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   Keesiemeijer, thanks. I just tried setting the sticky posts up again and now it's working (putting three on the page as I had specified), so that must have been a temporary glitch that somehow cleared itself.

   But what's this "Standard" designation next to just this one post? Can't figure it out.

   Standard is the default post format if you do not assign one

   However, standard doesn't show on my installs, only any other format

   It appears to have something to do with this:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats

   but I can't figure out where to un-set this. I don't remember ever setting it.

   It's a theme function, and would be in your functions.php. Normally they are coded into thenmes.

   It doesn't hurt a thing to have them in there, even if you don't use them. And they really are useful, especially if your tehme implements them well

   add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'gallery', 'status', 'quote', 'image' ) );

   is the code that tuens them on

   Ok, thanks Rev. Voodoo. Still can't figure out why it's showing for only one post and not others, nor how to make that go away (peace of mind at this point...inconsistency in my WordPress installs keeps me up at night, believe it or not). :)

   Hopefully it didn't have anything to do with the sticky posts glitch.
