How to Make a WordPress Post Always Stick to Homepage

One of my Client, wanted to have a post always stick to homepage which will welcome her readers. She asked me how to  do it, so instead of telling her on IM , I believe writing here will be a much better option so that other readers can take help of it.

WordPress has an inbuilt option to make any blog post sticky and it will stay at the top of homepage and new posts will be displayed below it.

This option can be access on the edit post option, here is a screenshot which will make it easy for you to understand.

Make sure to put a check mark in the option which says “Stick the post to the front page” this will ensure , that particular post will remain first post on your wordpress blog, until unless you uncheck that option again.

This is very useful when you want a particular post to keep showing on homepage, specially when you running a contest or running a giveaway.

Never tried the stick to homepage button but I did consider it a few weeks ago. Since then, I added a little features sidebar that I’m happy with.

Hey Gabe
Just had a look at your blog its looking good. But I guess you should change your font and also increase the font size for better readability. You can change it to Georgia or something.
