Displaying WP-Sticky (Inside The WP Loop)

- To Display The Post Sticky Status
- Use:

  > <?php post_sticky_status(); ?>

  Default: post_sticky_status('','');

  The first value: The text to appear before displaying the post's sticky status.
  The second value: The text to appear after displaying the post's sticky status.
  Note: The post's sticky status is either Sticky or Announcement.

- To Display Announcement Banner
- By default, the Announcement Banner will be displayed if your theme is using the_date(); within its templates. But if your theme is not using the_date(); and you want to display the Announcement Banner
  Use:

  > <?php announcement_banner(); ?>

Checking Post Sticky Status

- To Check If A Post Is Announcement
- Use:

  > <?php
  > if(is_announcement()):
  > // If post is an Announcement
  > else:
  > // If post is NOT an Announcement
  > endif;
  > ?>

- To Check If A Post Is Sticky
- Use:

  > <?php
  > if(is_sticky()):
  > // If post is Sticky
  > else:
  > // If post is NOT Sticky
  > endif;
  > ?>

Styling The Content Of Sticky/Announcement Post

- You can style the content of Sticky and Announcement posts by using the CSS class sticky_post and announcement_post respectively.
