How to Create a Sticky Post

Sticky posts in WordPress are designed to always appear at the top of the post list — before regular posts in the loop.
This is useful if you want to highlight an important update, tutorial, or announcement.

Steps to Make a Post Sticky

  1. Go to the WordPress DashboardPosts → All Posts
  2. Hover over the post you want to make sticky and click Quick Edit
  3. Check the option Make this post sticky
  4. Click Update

Alternatively:

  • Open the post in the editor
  • In the Post settings (sidebar on the right), expand Status & Visibility
  • Check Stick to the top of the blog
  • Update or publish the post

  • Sticky posts will always appear first in the sidebar loops (Homepage, Archive, Single Post sidebar).
  • Sticky posts are automatically marked with a “Sticky” badge in the list for better visibility.
  • If multiple posts are marked sticky, they will appear first in the same order you selected them.
  • Regular posts will follow after sticky posts, respecting the Posts per page setting.

💡 Tip: Don’t overuse sticky posts. Use them sparingly for important content to keep your blog structured and easy to scan.
