Topic: Wp-Sticky 1.40 - Problem with sort with WP_Query on WP 2.7.1

[rayd]

Wordpress: 2.7.1
WP-Sticky: 1.40
Theme: RevolutionTwo - Church Theme
Blog URL: www.calvarybradenton.org
PHP: 5.2.8
MYSQL: 5.0.67-community

To the problem... when the WP-Sticky 1.40 plugin is activated on my site, I lose the ability to use WP_Query with the "order" function. The code I am using is below. It works perfectly fine when WP-Sticky is deactivate (as it is now on my blog). Check out my site and look at the bottom of the page. The section with heading "This Weeks Refuge" sorts ascending as desired. As soon as I activate WP-Sticky it no longer sorts ascending. Goes back to default. I have fought with this and rewrote the query several different ways - to no avail. Somehow WP-Sticky appears to be causing this problem. I isolated WP-Sticky by deactivating all other plugins. I can easily duplicate the problem by turning on and off WP-Sticky.

Thanks for any help you my be able to give.

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=events&order=ASC');?>
 
<?php if ($my_query->have_posts()) : while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>

Yes, WP-Sticky will not work ascending/descending order with WP_Query. You might want to use the default sticky feature instead.

Thanks Lester for confirming.

The problem with using default WP 2.7 sticky is that it does not accommodate sticky's in category archive. I have been searching for a way to do that and WP-Sticky plugin is the only way that I have found.

Any ideas - or am I just out of luck?

i guess you are out of luck as this is a conflict with the query, there is no way to make it play nice with the ordering.
