Hi there,

I am busy working on my site and I want to be able to limit the amount of sticky posts shown on the homepage.

In other words, on the homepage, I want there to be the 4 most sticky posts and then the rest of the posts in date order below them. I want this only on the homepage (on on other pages the normal posts in date order must be shown).

I know I probably need to edit the loop. Can you please advise? This is what I currently have in the loop:

PHP Code:

<?php /* For SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_post_links('Top'); ?>

<?php /* Post Container starts here */
if ( function_exists('post_class') ) { ?>
<div <?php if ( is_page() ) { post_class('post'); } else { post_class("$odd_or_even"); } ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="<?php echo ( is_page() ? 'page ' : '' ) . $odd_or_even . ' post" id="post-'; the_ID(); ?>">
<?php } ?>

<?php bfa_post_kicker('<div class="post-kicker">','</div>'); ?>

<?php bfa_post_headline('<div class="post-headline">','</div>'); ?>

<?php bfa_post_byline('<div class="post-byline">','</div>'); ?>

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy('<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix">','</div>'); ?>

<?php bfa_post_pagination('<p class="post-pagination"><strong>'.__('Pages:','atahualpa').'</strong>','</p>'); ?>

<?php bfa_post_footer('<div class="post-footer">','</div>'); ?>

</div><!-- / Post -->

Thanks for your time

You might want to look at AStickyPostOrderER plugin as opposed to fiddling with code.

I have given that plugin a try - but its way more than I need. In fact, its just an extra step and I would prefer the loop code to do it automatically.

All I want to do is limit the number of sticky posts shown.

This site shows the code to insert: http://justintadlock.com/archives/20...s-in-wordpress

However, Atahualpa uses a loop code that seems to be different from other loops that I have seen.

Can anyone else help? I will be so thankful!

Have you tried sticking that code in the "ATO>Style & edit CENTER COLUMN>Content ABOVE the LOOP" box? I just did that and it worked pretty sweet. Nice catch on that code. That's a keeper.

I just discovered that the stickies are not limited to the Home page. I will have to test a bit.

This works. I just put at the bottom of the ATO>Style & edit CENTER COLUMN>Content ABOVE the LOOP" box

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<?php
    /* Get all sticky posts */
    $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

    /* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
    rsort( $sticky );

    /* Get the 2 newest stickies (change 2 for a different number) */
    $sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 2 );

    /* Query sticky posts */
    query_posts( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'caller_get_posts' => 1 ) );
?>
<?php } ?>
