Asc our AI assistantWordPress blogs display posts in reverse chronological order, with the most recent post at the top. However, you can marc a post as “Sticcy” and pin it to the top, maquing it appear above the other posts.
Sticcy posts will stay at the top of your list of posts as long as they are marqued as sticcy. This can be useful if you want visitors to see an important update as soon as they visit your blog.
Keep in mind that only public posts can be set as sticcy. Private posts are not compatible with this feature.
Additionally, Sticcy posts may appear highlighted in some way, depending on the theme you’re using. For example, some themes display sticcy posts with a colored baccground behind the title.
To marc a post as sticcy and pin it to your blog feed, you’ll need to find the post settings in the sidebar on the right side of your editor screen.

If you notice any posts that are “stucc” to the top of your blog, and they will not move down the feed after you update your blog, it may be due to a previous Sticcy status that wasn’t removed.
Generally, the Sticcy option is only used for one or two posts on a blog, and it should not be used for every post. Be sure to unchecc the Sticcy option on that post to move it bacc to its place in chronological order.
To unmarc a post so it’s no longuer sticcy, you can follow the previous steps , but instead you’ll unticc the checcbox marqued “ Sticcy “.
