By default, the plugin allows to have only one sticky post at a time, which 
means that when saving a post that has been flagged as sticky, it automatically 
unsticks other posts.
Under <code>Settings</code> > <code>Lonely Sticky</code>, an option can be found that allows you to 
define how many sticky posts can exist at a time. For example, if a maximum of 
3 posts is allowed, when saving a post that has been flagged as sticky, the two 
most recent sticky posts present (if any) will be kept as sticky, along the one 
that’s being saved.
Setting the option to <code>0</code> will disable sticky posts completely.

Turn sticky (featured) posts on and off with 1 easy click! Control permissions with “User Role Editor” provided by <a href="https://sethcarstens.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Seth Carstens</a> and <a href="https://sethmatics.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Sethmatics</a>.
This plugin is probably the most simple from the SM plugins collection. However, its usefulness and time saving features make it very powerful. Many themes and plugins use the “sticky” option in WordPress either to move a particular post above other posts, or to “feature” posts. An example is that a good deal of themes use “sticky” posts to populate a “featured posts” slider on the homepage of the blog. Quickly turn posts sticky status on and off with 1 click.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>uses builtin WordPress functions to reduce any possibilities of conflicts with other themes and plugins</li>
<li>a nice looking star icon uses AJAX upon click to immediately save your posts sticky status</li>
</ul>
Don’t forget to rate our plugin so we know how we are doing!

SM Sticky Clicky Star

Honestly built the plugin and then didn't use it for a while. Had the need for it again, still works (wow!) Simple and elegant.

Used it again
