The plugin displays a checkbox in the publish meta box to feature a post. The checkbox only appears on admin selected post types which can be selected in the Settings->Writing screen.
When a post is designated as featured:
<ul>
<li>It receives ‘featured’ and <code>featured-{$posttype}</code> classes via the post_class filter.</li>
<li>Shows featured posts as such in the post type’s admin screen</li>
<li>Assigns a post a hidden taxonomy term (featured) that can easily be queried.</li>
</ul>
Note: For the plugin to work on attachments, you must be using 3.5 or above. All other features will work on 3.1.0 and up.

Sticky Posts – Switch

Thank you for sharing your work. I was looking for a way my editors could stick a post in a featured spot in the homepage and found this simple tool to do it flawlessly. It's easier than stick a post in the edit post screen or through quick edit, you just have to tick it once. So neat.

Handy and simple

Saved me a few hours! Thank you very much!

Good!

I was just getting ready to implement this myself. Very happy you saved me the trouble! The ability to click the stars in the admin interface is also a super nice addition. Wonderful work! Thank you so much!

PRO tip: Although, I couldn't find it documented anywhere, as a developer you can get a list of all the sticky posts with get_option('sticky_posts')

much developer love

Really the plugin is very helpful that saves me 10 hours of work!



Just Awesome!


I'd hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function and provides no method to contact.  The Plugin Works, but it doesn't respect Custom Post Types.  All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom post types.  So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT "Forums"


No Support, and Plugin Doesn't Work With CPT

This plugin adds a sticky post switch functionality to the admin list post/custom post type pages.
