# Complex stickied categories problem (Please HELP)

 * I have 6 categories stickied to show up in my featured posts on the home page.
   As it is right now, when I add a new post to one of these selected categories,
   it gets added to the top of the section and pushes the other stickied categories
   down. So if I posts 6 updates to the category “videos” for example, I will have
   all video stuff displaying on the home page feature posts section. I don’t want
   this to happen.
 * What I want to do is have each of my 6 categories on the home page stay in place
   and not move, so that when I update one of these categories, the new post replaces
   the previous category post in the featured section without pushing down the other
   category posts in the lineup. That way if I have 10 new posts in one category,
   you can still see all of the other 6 categories on the home page.
 * Does anyone know what I need to do to accomplish this??
    The url I’m building
   the test site on is [http://www.musclemilfs.com/blog](http://www.musclemilfs.com/blog)
   in case you need to refer to it to get specifics.

 * you possibly need to loop through the 6 categories, and get one latest post for
   each of the categories.
 * example structure:
 *     ```
       $cats = array(1,4,87,345,32,7);
       foreach( $cats as $cat ) :
       $cat_post = get_posts(array('category__in' => array($cat), 'numberposts' => 1);
       ..etc..
       endforeach;
       ```

 * it might help, if you could paste your existing code into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here, as a starting point for more detailed suggestions.

 * Thanks for the reply. I’m a rookie when it comes to php coding, and this theme
   is a bit confusing in it’s structure. I placed my code from the pages I thought
   pertained to loop. It’s the featured articles #1 that I’m trying to customize.

 * If you or someone else could give me some more detailed help with this I’d really
   appreciate it.
