Remove sticky posts from Blog Page Template?

I’m having the same problem. The sticky (image) posts that I’m using for the home page slider (using landing page template + featured image + sticky post) are also showing on my blog page. I don’t want this duplication of posts — want to have the ability to exclude the slider posts from my blog page. I expected this to be something I could set (like a category option) in theme options.

Looks like I’ll end up hacking one of the blog templates to show only posts that are assigned a specific category.

This is such a great theme to be missing this option . . . .

Hi,

This could be a possible solution.

The index.php should be modified as

Note the points I have added at line number 16 to 20 and line number 28.

Please note that I am not a PHP coder. However, with online references, I have this snippet.

Please check and give your feedback.

Try adding this to your CSS:

.blog #slider {
display: none;
}

Correction to my second-to-last paragraph: page title changes in *the browser bar*. Not the URL. When I don’t designate a particular page as the posts page, the title in the browser bar is simply the page name — Blog — rather than the page name/site name no space mishmash. Again, a separate issue only tangentially related to kingtutu’s solution.

@DanimalXC I have the same problem with the sticky showing at the top of my blog page. Have opted to go for @Judy solution by creating categories assigned to different blogs and linking via the menu directly. All works, except how do I get the category view to be full width instead of with a side bar?

If I change ‘Theme Options > Layout’ to be by defaut ‘Full width’ I loose the side bars on the landing page.

Is that what you have set your default layout to?

Thanks,
Aaron

Thanks, try this with an alteration for ‘Content / Sidebar’. Did not have the desired effect.

The landing page requires the sidebars:

The following page is desired to not have the side bars:
http://www.stmaryschessington.org/new/category/thoughts/

Thus, the later page is essentailly driving the landing page.

Ideally I would like to overide the default layout on the category view, like you can when you create a static page.

Guess I will have to keep t as is.

Thanks for the effort.

@kingtutu Thank you! Your CSS suggestion got rid of the header on my blog page.

@danimalXC Thank you, too! Your suggestion to use the SEO plug-in got rid of that mash-up

Cheers!

I have the same problem here. My main page is static with the slider on top, and my blog page always shows the sticky posts on top of other blog posts (which are meant only to show up in the slider).

For the blog page i’m using the “4 columns template”, so i think i found out a solution customizing template-blog-four-col.php adding one single condition:

Replace the following block:

				
<div class="entries">
  <?php while( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- .entries -->

adding the condition:

<div class="entries">
  <?php while( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
    <?php if (!is_sticky()):?>
      <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- .entries -->

I hope it helps.
