Hide sticky posts: sticky post only shows on its custom post type archive

    I have a website where I show the newest post of a custom post type in the sidebar. I chose the option “Hide sticky posts” (since I have a single sticky post that shouldn’t appear). Everything works well except on the archive page of this custom post type (add /buecher/ to the provided link to see the archive): the sticky post shows up there, and only there.

    This custom post type sidebar (where the widget is located) is the same as everywhere else on the page, so there is no difference of the sidebar’s code. Also, the wdidget works fine on the posts of the custom post type itself.

    I’m using the following plugin to make custom post types sticky, maybe that’s relevant too: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-sticky/

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @maenjuel,

    I took a look at your website and that I can see is the fact the /buecher/ URL location is inside “after” element.

    Can you please check and confirm that your “After posts:” form is empty?
    If so try to add one space and resave it. Then please tell me if it helps.

    You can also try to untag and tag as sticky the page /buecher/.
    And the last thing you can do at this moment is reset “Sticky posts:” option by unsetting it and setting it again.

    I hope it helps! 🙂

    Thank you for using our plugin,
    iClyde

    Thanks for your quick reply, @iclyde,

    I tried all of these things, but none solved the problem However, after looking more into it, I realized the problem is caused by custom PHP code inside the functions.php file to show sticky posts above the rest of the posts on archive pages. When I delete that piece of code, the widget doesn’t show the sticky post anymore (as desired).

    I’ll mark the topic as resolved since it’s not a bug in the plugin, but rather a template issue from my side. Thank you for your time, @iclyde!
