   What code, and where would I place it, to make only sticky post titles presented as <h1>?

   Hi,

   You can use the custom stylesheet for your sticky post. Refer this article for more details

   Thanks,

   Something like:

   <?php if( is_sticky() ) ?><h1>
   <?php else ?><h2>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php if( is_sticky() ) ?></h1>
   <?php else ?></h2>

   should work in index.php

   Thanks Shane G

   The code you provided esmi does not function in this case. I am using a theme that does not presently recognize sticky posts. I had to add the following code in order to make sticky posts effective. Is there a way to edit this code to accomplish my inquiry?

   <?php query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'))); ?>

   The conditional should still work - even if your current theme doesn't normally highlight sticky posts in any way. It's a WP database flag rather than a theme one.

   Unfortunately, I placed the code in index.php and I received a php error. Should it be placed in a specific position w/in index.php?

   "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in..."

   Ah! Now that's different. That's just sloppy coding/typing on my part. :-)

   Try:

   <?php if( is_sticky() ) :?><h1>
   <?php else :?><h2>
   <?php endif;?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php if( is_sticky() ) :?></h1>
   <?php else :?></h2>
   <?php endif;?>

   Okay, no errors, but now it just displays 2 titles, both as <h2> :-)

   Here's my post title code in common.php that is setting post titles as <h2>:
   

   <h2 class="h2-simulate-h1-size"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
   			<?php the_title(); 													// Because single post or pages are more important for indexing, multiple post pages just have a h2 title for each item
   			?>
   			</a></h2>

   Here's the code to only display sticky posts on home page in my home/index.php:
   <?php query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'))); ?>

   Wondering if maybe there's a means to combine your code with my existing post tile code above.

   Since this is not working out to well, I'm going to change approaches and have started a new post:
