 * I have a sticky post problem with my blog, The Ambler.
 * 1. On Reading settings, “Your homepage displays” is set to “Your latest posts”
   and “Blog pages show at most” “1 post.”
 * 2. I made the post, Welcome to The Ambler, a sticky post.
 * 3. I then added another post, called Test. This is the problem: Instead of appearing
   as a separate post after Welcome to The Ambler, it appears at the bottom of Welcome.
 * 4. Also, when I use Older Entries, the first older entry is a duplicate of Welcome.
   It also appears at [http://theveranda.ca/theambler/page/2/](http://theveranda.ca/theambler/page/2/).
 * 5. I changed the theme I am using to another theme and have the same problem.
 * 7. Everything is fine when I stop Welcome from being sticky.
 * Help, please!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsticky-post-problem-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi theambler,
 * So we what have here is a sticky post followed with the latest post on the front
   page set to display Posts (blog) that is set to display 1 post per page. This
   seems like a bug but I guess it is actually a feature.
 * The purpose of Sticky post is to always have it on top, and there can be more
   than one sticky post all of which will always be on top regardless of post count
   per page is set.
 * This above, along with the problem of sticky post appears again in post lists
   in its chronological order can be solved with some php functions but I would 
   not go that route because in this particular case the real problem is that we
   are not using sticky post for what it is.
 * Considering the content on the front home page as it is right now, that welcome/
   intro messege belongs to page content type (not post), so we should have that
   as a page (not post) and set this as front home page, and make sure to have a
   link to Blog page in the navigation.
 * Hope this helps.
