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>

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.

There are no settings or custom functions. Set custom post types to be sticky just as you would with regular posts, and those post id’s will be included in the result of <code>get_option( 'sticky_posts' )</code>.
PLEASE NOTE In order to integrate as seamlessly as possible, this plugin will not alter any queries or filter any functions. If your sticky posts aren’t appearing the way you want, there’s probably a good reason in your query (Is <code>ignore_sticky_posts</code> set to <code>true</code>? Is <code>post_type</code> set to a different type?). This plugin may be most appropriate for developers who just want the native sticky post UI and no other superfluous features.
If you find this plugin useful, please rate it accordingly.

Seamless Sticky Custom Post Types

Perfect

Great plugin! Hasn't been updated for over three years. But it works great, still!

Still works like a dream

Extends the native sticky post functionality to custom post types in a way that is identical to default posts.
