<ul>
<li>Sticky posts are ordered the same way as non-sticky posts.</li>
<li>Sticky posts do not reappear on subsequent pages.</li>
<li>The first page of home will contain exactly the requested number of posts, rather than the requested number of posts plus the number of sticky posts.</li>
<li>Allows more than one page of sticky posts.</li>
</ul>
Simply injects the sticky post IDs into the actual mySQL order by clause, 
causing posts to be ordered by sticky status then by what ever order is 
specified, usually post_date DESC, and not to repeat on subsequent pages. 
I can’t actually figure out why it isn’t done like this by WP, perhaps 
earlier versions of mySQL don’t support this. WP’s default sticky ordering 
craziness is turned off by returning an empty array for the next call to 
get_option(‘sticky_posts’) which happens in WP_Query->get_posts().
There is currently a ticket awaiting review on the WordPress trac system to roll this functionality into the WordPress core: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21986

Mend Sticky Posts

Wordpress's Sticky Posts behaviour is still incomprehensible, let's fix it.

wpseek

This plugin completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from 
checking for updates including cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed.
It’s very important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to date! If you don’t, your blog or website could 
be susceptible to security vulnerabilities or performance issues.
If you use this plugin, make sure you keep yourself up to date with new releases of your active WordPress version, plugins 
and themes and update them as new versions are released (simply by deactivating this plugin for a short time).

Thank you for your service to speed and sanity Oliver! 🙏



This instantly solve a large amount of unnecessary Admin speed issues. ⚡️




Just try it for a few minutes, and compare your Admin speed before and after activating!



Set yourself up a separate Wordpress instance with the free MainWP plugin, and use that for managing all your site updates automatically, manually, or a mix from there instead.




I've been working with Wordpress for about 15 years. This is the way. 💪


Very site should use this with a separate MainWP instance for updates 🥰

Disables the theme, plugin and core update checking, the related cronjobs, plugin/theme update health checks and notification system.
