    Hello everyone!!!

    if I put sticky posts in categories, they would also appear in the main page, not only when I go in categories…so I would ask you how I could avoid to show sticky posts in main page and to put indeed a sticky post only for a main page (maybe in this case it’s enough just to not put that post in any category and it would be in main page, am I right?)

    Thanks to all!
    Ciao,

    Might want to review Nathan’s guide on sticky posts:

    Hello MichaelH!

    Thanks for your answer….I read that page but it didn’t answered to my question… I knew already about the option about stickying/unstickying a post but my question was about to NOT show the sticky post of a category in the main page but only when I click on that category.
    For example: normally when I enter in a site I would have a sticky general post (like in general category which is an universal category) to welcome to the website. Indeed when I click on a category that I listed in a sidebar because each category is an office I would hide the general category sticky and show the selected category sticky…. is there something like a function that manages that? like that “is_sticky()” one?…

    Thanks!!

    B.T.W. about categories: since I’d like to add an email to each office (category) is there a way to add another field or option to category because in a template I’d like to create a <select> that shows to the user the category listing with get_categories(parameters) and in the value the email address…and I was thinking for that way so when I create/delete an office (a category) I would have also to manage the email address… ?

    but my question was about to NOT show the sticky post of a category in the main page but only when I click on that category.

    query_posts('caller_get_posts=1');

    the category listing with get_categories(parameters) and in the value the email address

    Guess you could use the category description to store the email.

    Hello MichaelH.

    I’m here again with sticky posts….

    I installed a new fresh 2.7.1 wordpress with default theme and I created a category “xyz” then I created a sticky post related to that category.
    then I put in index.php that query_posts(‘caller_get_posts=1’); BEFORE <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> (even tried also after) to make the sticky post not appearing in main page but when I click on that category’s link…. and it doesn’t disappear from main page…. why?….

    Thanks
    Luigi

    P.S. about email I used category description as your suggest.

    Hey buddy,
    If i’m reading this right, the reason its not working for you is that its not supposed to be a separate line. The ‘caller_get_posts=1’ is part of your query_posts argument… so off hand it would be something like this:

    query_posts('caller_get_posts=1&amp;showposts=3&amp;cat=6');

    This codex page should help you out, they go into sticky’s more towards the bottom
