## Description

By default, WordPress lets you make unlimited posts sticky, which can quickly clutter
your homepage and make featured content harder to manage.

**Sticky Posts Limit** gives you full control by letting you define how many sticky
posts you want to keep.

When the limit is exceeded:
 – Only the most recent sticky posts are kept – Older
sticky posts are automatically unmarked

👉 No need to manually remove sticky status from old posts — the plugin handles 
everything for you automatically.

This keeps your homepage clean, focused, and easy to manage.

Perfect for blogs, news sites, and magazine-style layouts where controlling featured
content matters.
