I’ve made 3 sticky posts (image format) for the purposes of the slider on my landing page, but I don’t want them to show up on the blog page. Is there any way to remove them?
Hi Michelle,
you seem to have the opposite problem of what most folks here have…
My educated guess would be:Go to SETTINGS/READING
select under FRONT PAGE DISPLAYS “A static page”, select there you landing page. That should do it….Does this help?
Thanks for your response, but alas, no. My home page with slider looks fine, my blog page still has Test 3 to Test 1 (the 3 test sticky posts) as the first 3 posts.
This is where I’m working on it:
(this is the Home/Landing page) http://www.ipublishpress.ca/ippblog/
(this is the Blog page) http://www.ipublishpress.ca/ippblog/?page_id=78This is basically a sandbox area–though technically live, it’s not my main domain. I’ve used the demo pictures as my slider pictures for now. My own are being designed.
Also, this is currently in a sub-directory (ippblog) rather than the root–I’m planning to change this on the main site, so that basically everything that’s not in the shopping cart will be handled by WordPress and the permalinks will be appropriately named.
The images in the slider have posts attached to them. That’s where the picture come from. These posts you want to hide?
So when people click on the slider image it take them to a hidden post or page? Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Alexander @ http://www.mouseclick.comMaybe? I made/inserted them into posts because that’s how I figured the slider mechanism works. But I don’t want them to be “real” posts at all. When I go to the blog page, I just want regular blog posts to show. I don’t want the slider pics to link to anything, necessarily. (If I ever do, I’d likely want them to link to pages, not posts).
Now that it’s clear that an image leads to a post (otherwise where should the image come from?) we have different approach: No links in the slider. Right?

Ok, here is the solution:
1) Install “WP Hide Post” plugin
2) Create a blog page with an image for the slider
3) Set the blog page to sticky to be shown in the slider (somewhere on the blog creation page)
4) Set the page to “hide everywhere” (somewhere on the blog creation page)
5) Publish the blog page as usual
6) Add this to your CSS file:
#slider .hentry a {
display:none;
}and you’re good to go !!!
Repeat step 1-5 for additional blog page. No one will ever see or find your blog page where the image for the slider came from nor can he click on the slider anymore.

I manage to get this working using a plugin “simply exclude” where you can simply exclude certein posts from the front page. if it’s not working the first time around try to go into the plugin ‘settings’ panel and see if all is set right!.
Hello, having the same problem. WP Hide post plugin isnt solving anything.
I dont want the sticky posts (slider posts) to show up on top of my blog page.
It would be very nice if you could just assign a ‘slider category’. That would make things more flexible and leave the sticky post function intact. Or can I make a modification that excludes one category on all blog-page-templates?Kind regards, Nick
Nick, did you ever solve this problem? I’m struggling with the same issue–followed Alex’s tutorial exactly.
@DanimalXC: I finally found out how this was ‘intended’. But when i remember correctly, it only kinda works on the homepage, like you can see here: http://www.differenceverkoopstyling.nl/
The sticky posts stay at the bottom as well they are the ones that appear in the slider. When you want another page then home to be your blog page, i believe it didnt work. Also look at the various page templates assigned, if there are any. With many themes the issue is hidden somewhere in there. Hope this is helpfull, good luck!Thanks, Nick! I’ll play around with settings and templates to see if I can find a solution. If nothing else works, I’ll create a separate category for my blog posts, create a menu link to that category, and remove the blog page. I’d really love to get this working as advertised–I’m not sure whether it’s a bug in the theme, whether I’m doing something wrong, or what…
Also, your site looks great! Nice work.
