Overview

Sticky Posts is a feature that lets you pin a blog or news post to the top of your blog list. The post stays at the top until a new sticky post is published, it expires, or it is manually removed.

Best Practices

Follow these tips to keep your sticky posts fresh and organized:

• Keep no more than 30 blog or news posts in the Sticky Post List at any time.
• Set an expiry date for all sticky posts (ideally no more than 8 days in the future) when publishing. This helps prevent a backlog of outdated posts.
• To reorder sticky posts, go to Website > Blogs > Sticky Posts, drag and drop to set the order, and click Save at the bottom of the page. Allow up to 10 minutes for server cache to refresh.

How to Make a Blog Post Sticky

1. Click Add New Blog Post to create a new post, or select an existing post you want to make sticky.
2. Once selected, the sticky blog posts will appear in the section below.
3. You can also make a post sticky directly from the blog editor.

Note

Manage the display order of sticky blog posts at the top of your blog lists by dragging to reorder them.

Sticky posts are a great way to highlight important content and ensure your audience sees your most relevant updates first.
