What Is a Sticky Contest?
The Sticky Contests feature allows you to pin a contest to the top of your contest list. This ensures the contest remains highly visible until it expires, is removed, or a new contest is published. This replaces the previous 'contest list' functionality from our old system.
Best Practices for Sticky Contests
- No more than 30 contests should be in the Sticky List at any given time.
- Always set an expiry date for each Sticky Contest when publishing. This prevents a backlog of outdated contests.
- To re-order Sticky Contests, navigate to Promotions > Sticky Contests, drag and drop contests into your desired order, and click Save at the bottom of the page. Please allow up to 10 minutes for the server cache to refresh and display the changes.
How to Make a Contest Sticky
- Select Contests to Make Sticky: Choose the contests you want to pin. Once selected, these contests will appear in the Sticky Contests section. Sticky contests use the same expiry settings as blog posts.
- Manage Sticky Contests: To control the display order, drag and drop contests within the Sticky Contests section. This determines the order in which they appear at the top of your contest list.
By following these steps and best practices, you can ensure your most important contests remain visible and organized for your audience.
