    Hi, is there a way for custom post types to support setting posts as “sticky”?

    I came across this guide that references Custom Post Type UI having this feature, but I can’t see it on my site. Not sure if it was removed or if the guide is making things up 😅

    We’ve never had sticky settings because WP core doesn’t presently support sticky-ness for custom post type posts.

    There’s a long history about this topic that is still unresolved to this day.

    Searching for plugins that maybe do this type of thing for you leads me to https://wordpress.org/plugins/sticky-posts-switch/ as at least one example, and is fairly modern, but it’s definitely potentially showing its age. Otherwise it’s going to need to be a custom solution to handle.

    Thank you for the quick response! 😊

    In my case I only need it for a short permanent notice on the top, so I’ll likely just add a paragraph above the list of posts.
