   Hi all,

   I wrote this code to show Sticky Post first (if there is any) and otherwise, just show the post, which is written latest.

   I have to just show one post on the page (either sticky or latest). To achieve it, I wrote the following code:-

   The problem is that It is not showing any sticky post. It does show me latest post properly but is not picking the sticky post.

   I would be very thankful, if you can pick the problem or if you want, you can propose a better code! ...

   <?php
        $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
        $recentPosts->query("showposts=1&category_name='ewp-news'&orderby=date&array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'))");
   
        $stickyCheck = false;
        while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); 
   
           // The first one is always a  Sticky, so if there is a sticky, it will check it and let it pass!
   
           if (!($stickyCheck))
   	{
   ?>
   
                  <?php
   
                       // Title and Excerpt of the Post.
   
                   ?>
   
               <?php
   	}
   
           //if this post was a sticky post! then make it true and dont let another one show itself!
   
           if (is_sticky())
   	   $stickyCheck = true;
   
           ?>
         <?php endwhile; ?>

   I will be very thankful to you, if you can help me in this.

   Many Thanks!

   I think you might need to add caller_get_posts

   See here, information still applies.

   Thanks a lot for your reply !

   now it does show me a post when there is one with a sticky.

   But when there is no sticky, it doesn't show me anything. I wanted that if there is no sticky, it just shows me the latest post...

   Is it possible?

   Many Thanks.

   I solved with the following code.

   $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
   
   	  	$sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
   
   		$args = array(
   			'showposts' => 1,
   			'post__in'  => $sticky,
   			'caller_get_posts' => 1,
   			'orderby' => 'date',
   			'category_name' => 'ewp-news'
   		);
   
   		$recentPosts->query($args);
   
   		 while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); 
   
   	    // Printing Title and Excerpt!
   
         <?php endwhile; ?>

   Many Thanks.
