¿Quiere mostrar sus entradas más importantes en la parte superior de la página de su blog para que la gente pueda verlas primero?
Una entrada fija se “pegará” a la parte superior de la página de tu blog. Aunque publiques nuevos artículos, esta entrada no se moverá hacia abajo y siempre aparecerá como característica destacada.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo hacer fácilmente entradas fijas en WordPress.
¿Qué es una entrada fija en WordPress?
Una entrada fija es una entrada que se pega a la parte superior de la página de tu blog de WordPress. A diferencia de las entradas normales, permanece en la página de inicio de tu blog hasta que eliminas su opción fija.
Por defecto, WordPress muestra primero las entradas más recientes. A medida que añades más contenido, tus entradas más antiguas van bajando y finalmente pasan a los archivos.
Esto significa que es menos probable que los visitantes encuentren esa entrada del blog a menos que aterricen en ella en los resultados de búsqueda o busquen entre todas las entradas de su sitio web de WordPress.
Pero, ¿y si quisieras mostrar tus artículos pilares en la página de inicio durante más tiempo? Entonces es cuando la característica de entradas fijas de WordPress resulta útil.
Cuándo utilizar una entrada fija en WordPress
Una entrada fija es útil para destacar el contenido importante de tu blog. Te permite destacar tus mejores artículos en la página de inicio de tu blog independientemente de su fecha de publicación.
Hay principalmente dos tipos de contenido que puede querer fijar a la página de inicio / página de inicio de su blog.
1. El mejor contenido (artículos pilares) de su blog
Los artículos pilares son el contenido más importante de su sitio web. Incluyen artículos en profundidad, guías completas y sus entradas más populares.
Son la mejor forma de presentar tu blog a nuevos usuarios, generar clientes potenciales y aumentar las visitas. Deberás destacarlos en todo tu sitio web para asegurarte de que los nuevos usuarios puedan encontrar estos artículos.
Por ejemplo, es posible que haya escrito una entrada de blog exhaustiva sobre un debate específico con gran detalle. Este artículo será de gran utilidad para tus usuarios, y puede que quieras pegarlo en la parte superior.
2. Contenido crítico por relevancia temporal
Otro tipo de entradas que se pueden fijar es el contenido relevante en el tiempo, como actualizaciones de productos, anuncios, sorteos, etc.
Si ha anunciado una actualización importante de un producto a través de su blog, querrá que sus usuarios la vean lo antes posible. Del mismo modo, si está organizando un sorteo durante un mes, querrá que todo el mundo lo vea antes de que caduque.
Una vez caducada la caducidad de la entrada, puedes sustituirla por nuevas entradas fijas.
Dicho esto, veamos cómo hacer que tus entradas sean fijas en WordPress.
Cómo hacer que las entradas de WordPress sean fijas (2 maneras)
WordPress viene con la funcionalidad incorporada para pegar cualquier entrada a la página de inicio, lo que significa que usted no tendrá que instalar ningún plugin de WordPress para esto.
Todos los temas estándar de WordPress son compatibles con esta característica y resaltarán la entrada fija en la página de inicio o en la página del blog.
En primer lugar, tienes que abrir el editor de bloques y editar la entrada que quieres hacer fija o crear una nueva.
En la pantalla de edición de entradas, tienes que abrir la barra lateral derecha, donde verás los ajustes de tus entradas.
En los ajustes de “Resumen”, sólo tienes que marcar la casilla siguiente a “Pegar a la parte superior del blog”.
A continuación, asegúrate de actualizar o publicar tu entrada.
Ya está. Tu entrada se mantendrá en la página de inicio de tu blog hasta que quites / elimines la comprobación.
Si quieres fijar una entrada antigua, sigue los mismos pasos y haz clic en el botón “Actualizar” de la parte superior.
También puedes fijar entradas antiguas con la característica de edición rápida.
Simplemente ve a la página Entradas ” Todas las entradas desde tu área de administrador y busca el título de la entrada respectiva. A continuación, tienes que hacer clic en la opción “Edición rápida” debajo de ella.
A continuación, verás las opciones de edición rápida, incluida una casilla de verificación de entradas fijas en la parte inferior derecha.
Debe marcar la casilla y hacer clic en el botón “Actualizar” que aparece a continuación.
También puedes aplicarlo a tus borradores no publicados para que queden fijos una vez publicados.

My (old) sticky post doesn’t show on the homepage or the category page.
I’m using the classic editor and followed the steps in the tutorial, but although it says it’s sticky, the behaviour of the post hasn’t changed?
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to reach out to the support for your specific theme to see if your theme has a custom styling that is a bit odd.

Hi,
Thanks for this info. I am looking for a new way to create a sticky post on a category page, so not on the homepage. I used a plugin for this but I got notified from Wordfence that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years so I better look for another solution. Do you have any suggestion for this?
Thanks

Brian Cooper says
well, but, that sticky, will now show up even in Featured Posts Slider, even if you don’t want it there, even if it doesn’t belong there (the post that was made a sticky was not designated as a featured post) so if it’s a note meant to go at the top of one particular category, it now will always show as featured image #1 in the featured posts slider, and #1 in the recents posts, etc…. I don’t suppose there is a way to keep that sticky, just on one particular blog feed category,
Zulqarnain says
Thank you very much
Janelle says
The video on my post does not show up on the home page. Only the title. I made it sticky but it doesn’t play – although it does on the other page. Any ideas?
becca puglisi says
Hi there. Thank you for this. A question: can I do this for a Draft post, so it will always appear in the top of my Drafts but not actually on my blog itself? I have a template that I use every week, and I always have to scroll down through the posts to find it, so it would be nice for it to be at the top of the page for me to see. But I don’t want my readers to see it because it’s just a draft.
Thanks!
Alex Muiruri says
Yup. Actually, when you make your post sticky, it falls into another category far from the drafts, published, all and Trash. SO it will become easier to find it.

Wunmi says
Hiya,
Great Post.
So i tried sticking a post and after a while i “unsticked” the post.
But then the post seem to have disappeared, i can only see the title and the comments.
The post content itself is gone. I’ve tried editing in the back end, but there’s nothing, my content is just gone.
Have you heard of this before? Could you help fix this? *weeps*
Jank Spim says
Hi, tnks for this very helpful post and comments.
Does anyone know how to grant WordPress authors permissions to make a post sticky?
I don’t want to make the author an editor, only make that “sticky post” checkbox visible.

Viola says
Ok,
After searching for so many helpful posts about the sticky option, i just couldn’t see it anymore.
Then i saw the words: “WP Admin” in one of the comments of this post and that immediately got me going at first. YEP I needed to see WP ADMIN. and I knew exactly what i had been doing wrong all this time.
I am more visual
So after I finally was able to remove the sticky post, I came back to reread this post and watch the video more carefully and:
This whole post is very helpful!!!
Reposting it on my blog for somewhere in the future, if i forget about sticky posts again
thank you so much ^_^

This isn’t helpful. There is no edit option. I can’t figure out how to stick or unstick post anymore
Buzz says
The format has been changed and under visibility public, there is no “sticking to the front” kind of thing for me, is there another way?
WPBeginner Support says
There is an Edit link right next to Visibility: Public option. Clicking on that Edit link will reveal the option to make a post sticky.

Hello,
Sorry but in my admin there is no link or whatsoever. I have tree tick box and that’s it.
I have an old post sticked (stuck ?) and can’t remove it.
Any other option ? I’m hosted directly on wordpress.com
About his “You have to login through Wp Admin option”
Would love to try but don’t know what that mean
Thanks

WPBeginner Support says
Please see our guide on the difference between self hosted WordPress.org vs free WordPress.com blog.
Nirajan Thapa says
You have to login through Wp Admin option, then you will have extended dashboard where you can find posts and edit from there, there is the option for it.
Viola says
Oh this one is helpful.
I have tried everything I saw at first glance on the support page. Signing in as WP Admin was the BEST solution
Thank you.
Jeff Potter says
I have a post marked sticky. I want to unstick it. I have a new post I want to make sticky. There are zero options for doing any of this. Very frustrating. Some comments here have remarked on this. Can anyone help us? I am using a standard, basic free blog template. I have googled this. No help. None of the dashboard images look like mine. I have 3 options under Visibility — no edit option. This is a crazy waste of time!!!!
WPBeginner Support says
You need to just edit the old post that you want to unstick. In the publish meta box just above the update button you would see the edit link. You may also want to check out how to add an expiration date to sticky posts.

Ivor says
I can’t open Edit in Public Visibily to make my latest post sticky.Is it because I have too many sticky posts ? (39) If it is I still need to open edit to unstick some earlier ones. Thank you in advance for any help in solving this.
Ivor says
I can’t open the visibility public edit feature to make a post sticky.Can you have too many sticky posts (39) ? If it is that how can I unsticky some when I can’t open edit ? Thank you.
WPBeginner Support says
You can have as many sticky posts as you want. You can edit a post and remove the sticky check from the post to make it unstick. Alternately you can also set an expiration date for sticky posts in WordPress.

My Visibility button no longer has an option to make apost sticky t the top. Did you change something? I used to have that ability – now its gone.
Desi says
I also can’t see it – under “visibility”, there are only 3 options now: “public, private and password protected”.
I made my last post sticky and now when I publish something new it doesn’t come up on top and there is no way no edit it.
Please help
Bev says
I have the same problem as Guy and Desi. Under visibility there are only 3 options “public, private and password protected” and none of them allow me to make a post sticky. I was able to have one sticky post and none after that. The theme I use is “The Dyad Theme.”
Maru says
Hello there
Is there a way to change the sticky note text (it says “featured”)? And if so, is there a way to have the option to change the text for single sticky notes, instead of all of them?
Thank you.

DON COBB says
I get how to make a post sticky, but that sticky post only shows as a title, not an article. One must click on it to read it. I would like the sticky post to show the whole article, like every other post. Is that possible? Thanks in advance…
WPBeginner Support says
The appearance of sticky posts depends on your WordPress theme and how it handles sticky posts. If this is how your theme displays sticky posts, then you will need to edit theme files to show full content. Ask your theme author for support before making any changes to the theme yourself.

Graeme Voigt says
Is it possible to publish a post to my home page that CAN’T be clicked on? My masonry theme has an option to publish a post that appears as a quote on the home page. The only thing is, I don’t want users to click on this quote and be taken to a random page that only contains one sentence! I want the posts to appear on the home page just as some inspiration – not a link to a page.
Thanks for any help!
Frost says
I want my chosen posts as sticky in homepage permanently.I don’t want additional posts to be visible in home page.
Also can 5 or more pages be made sticky.
BrianL51 says
I have created a sticky post as a welcome note explaining what my site is about, and how best to use it. It’s been at the top of the tree for over a week, above more recent posts. Just how I wanted it to be. Today when I login, the sticky post is #2 in the list, under a more recent post that was below it yesterday. I’ve found nothing to explain this. The sticky post is still the only one with the sticky box checked. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what’s going on, and how to stop it happening? (For now, I plan to make the post non-sticky, and then make it sticky again. Fingers crossed, but even if that works it’s hardly ideal.)
WPBeginner Staff says
Go to Appearance -> Widgets and remove the recent posts widget. You can add it back whenever you want by simply dragging and dropping it to the same sidebar.
BrianL51 says
Hi, I already found the way to make a post sticky, but there’s another problem. A link to the new sticky post appears in the Recent Posts list on my sidebar, but clicking it results in one of those “Shucks, this is embarrassing isn’t it” messages because the link somehow can’t find anything to point to. Any suggestions? After another five or so regular posts, this dead link will drop off the bottom of the list anyway, but I’m curious to know if it can be fixed.
WPBeginner Staff says
Try adding another sticky post with different title. See if you can reproduce the error.
BrianL51 says
Many thanks for your prompt reply and for your suggestion, but… this is a live site I’m editing. If I manage to reproduce the error I’ll wind up with two dead links in my ‘recent posts’ list. As far as I can see, I don’t have UX access to edit the list of recent posts. If you can tell me I’m wrong, and how I can delete entries from the list, then I’ll happily experiment with the sticky post problem.
Tim says
In Genesis, it’s turned off.
Kate says
Hi, is it possible to have the sticky post just on one page? Without the CSS or programming code? Thanks!
Omniaural says
Oh dear. So simple, yet I never thought to look there!
WPBeginner Staff says
You can do so using CSS. WordPress automatically adds sticky class to the sticky posts. You can use that class in CSS to add your style rules. For example:
.sticky {
background-color:yellow;
border:1px solid #ccc;
padding:5px;
}
Terry says
How can I change the color of the sticky note?
WPBeginner Staff says
A sticky post will remain sticky until you publish another post and mark it as sticky or you manually uncheck the sticky post option.
Smiley says
Thank you

Thank you a lot guys for your great work, but please can you please answer these tow questions for me :
Does a sticky post stays sticky until I check the box?
and what happens if I have more than one sticky post?
Jen says
I am trying to do this on my posts, but can’t seem to find the sticky button? Does this feature no longer exist?
WPBeginner Staff says
It exists, but you need to click on the Edit link next to visibility under publish metabox to see it.
WPBeginner Staff says
You don’t need a plugin for that, this functionality comes built-in with WordPress
donmatrix says
but there is a plugin for that??
Dana says
I thought I wanted to have a static home page but realized what I really want is a cool content slider at the top… recent posts.. a little about me section. then all of my social media buttons instagram plugins and such…. Is this possible with a sticky post as the homepage?? Or what else can I try?
WPBeginner Support says
There are some free and premium WordPress themes that allow you to do all this easily. But if you want to do this without changing your theme, then still a sticky post is not the right way to do this.

Great article. I find WPBeginner to be a great resource!
Is there a way to assign a sticky post to a category? For example, I have set up a custom menu to include some categories as tabs on my navigation. When you click on the category on the nav bar, you are taken to a page that lists all the posts in that category. I would like the first post to be sticky. Can I do this?
Editorial Staff says
Yes, you can do that
