Sticky not working

[skynet]

Hello,

We have set an event sticky on the month view, but it not showing first on the month.

Also how can we get a sticky event via query so we will just show a sticky event to our home page??

We have try a below PHP code but not working.

$sticky = get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ );
$args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ‘2’,’post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,’post__in’ => $sticky, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1);
$sticky_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

Hi there @skynet,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I can help you here 🙂

We have set an event sticky on the month view, but it not showing first on the month.

This option should ensure the event is shown in month view when there are many events and some of them don’t get into the list. It doesn’t mean it will show first!

Also how can we get a sticky event via query so we will just show a sticky event to our home page?

This is not easily doable as ‘Sticky in month view’ relies on the ‘menu_order’ post value (a column in the posts table) and not the same ‘sticky’ value to make a post/page sticky. A workaround is to query events and order them by ‘menu_order’ this will make stickies come first, so following this logic you could do something like this:


// Grab events by menu_order this will make 'stickies in month view' go first
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'orderby' => 'menu_order'
) );

foreach ( $events as $post ) {
setup_postdata( $post );

// if this is true then we are out of 'sticky' in month view events
if ( $post->menu_order != -1 ) break;

// this is a sticky in month view let's print it
echo $post->post_title . '<br>';

}


Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico
