Rareview Scheduled Sticky Posts brings sticky post behavior to post types beyond standard WordPress Posts.
Choose which public post types should support sticky content, then manage sticky state directly from the block editor. Editors can optionally schedule when a post becomes sticky and when that sticky period expires.
Rareview Scheduled Sticky Posts also includes an admin settings screen for enabling post types, adjusting sticky cache duration, clearing cached sticky query data, and reviewing or removing sticky behavior from posts in bulk.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>Sticky support for public post types beyond core posts</li>
<li>Block editor sidebar controls for sticky state</li>
<li>Optional sticky start and end dates</li>
<li>Support for Query Loop block output</li>
<li>Admin tools for cache clearing and sticky post cleanup</li>
</ul>

Schedule and manage sticky posts across post types

Sticky posts for WordPress, improved.
This plugin addresses the following issues and limitations found in the core’s implementation of sticky posts:
<ul>
<li>Only the core <code>post</code> type supports this feature.</li>
<li>Sticky posts are added in front of your homepage’s results, yielding more posts than the configured per-page setting.</li>
<li>Sticky posts reappear as you navigate further into the archive.</li>
<li>Sticky posts are prepended to your results when querying specific posts with <code>post__in</code>.</li>
<li>Difficult to include sticky posts in custom queries.</li>
</ul>
Some of these issues cause strange behaviour (like when using the REST API) and complicate the creation of custom homepage layouts.
At one point we decided to stop fighting the core and partially reimplemented the feature using custom post fields and meta queries, giving you:
<ul>
<li>Sticky posts for all non-hierarchical post types.</li>
<li>Post stickiness on post type and taxonomy archives.</li>
<li>Respect for your configured per-page setting, with stickies spilling over onto the next page.</li>
<li>Duplicates filtered from your archive pages.</li>
<li>The ability to sort by stickiness on virtually any <code>WP_Query</code> lookup.</li>
<li>Support for the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_sticky/" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>is_sticky()</code></a> function.</li>
<li>A predictable WordPress REST API experience.</li>
<li>A slight SQL query overhead (sorry!)</li>
</ul>
Post Glue will continue to save post IDs to the <code>sticky_posts</code> option, meaning you’ll retain some core functionality even if you decide to stop using the plugin.
