Exclude Sticky post from the loop - Pagination Bug

[thelbc 0]

Hi there, I used the following code to remove the sticky posts from the loop used on the index page of my site :

	add_action('pagelines_before_theloop', 'exclude_cat');
	
	function exclude_cat(){
			if (is_home()) {
	query_posts(array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts")));
		}
	}
	

The problem is that now my pagination is not working anymore... So I tried using this

	add_action('pagelines_before_theloop', 'exclude_cat');
	
	function exclude_cat(){
		if (is_home()) {
	$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	$args = array(
	'paged' => $page,
	'post__not_in' => get_option("sticky_posts")
	);
	query_posts($args);
	    }
	}
	

And then, the problem is that my fullwidth posts (using Magazine Layout Mode Only) are not displayed anymore... Any advices would be much appreciated. Cheers, Jk_

Why couldn't you just use this? function exclude_cat(){ if (is_home()) { query_posts(array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts"))); } }

Let's start with the objective. You don't want 'sticky' posts to appear on your posts page?

@cmunns : I did at first but then I realized that the pagination is not working anymore! @arpowers : The objective is that I don't want sticky post on the mainpage (however I only request them from an other query on top of the page).

[cmunns 16]

you request them with another query? What's the point? I still think you could just use css if you're only trying to hide them on the home page. Can you be even more specific about the goal?

Sorry that I have been unclear on my purpose! Here is what I have done... Display a homemade news slider and display it at the top of my homepage:

<?php
	
	$args=array(
	'post__in' =>get_option("sticky_posts"),
	'showposts'=>12,
	);
	$my_query = get_posts($args);
	$chunked_posts = array_chunk($my_query,1);
	?>
	<?php foreach($chunked_posts as $recent): ?>
	    <div>
	        <?php foreach($recent as $post): setup_postdata($post);?>
	            <div class="thumb-container">
					<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) the_post_thumbnail('feature-image'); ?>
					<div class="overlay-text">
					/<?php echo $post->post_name; ?>" title="<?php echo $post->post_slug; ?>">
						<span class="thumb-size">
						<p class="text-overlay"><?php echo $post->post_title; ?></p>
						</span>
					
					</div>
				</div>
	         <?php endforeach;?>
	    </div>
	<?php endforeach;?>[/code]

	
	[b]Then exclude sticky post from my main query :[/b]
	
	

[code]add_action('pagelines_before_theloop', 'exclude_cat'); function exclude_cat(){ if (is_home()) { $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $args = array( 'paged' => $page, 'post__not_in' => get_option("sticky_posts") ); query_posts($args); } }

And now it works like it should. Thanks, Jk_
