NO BUG: Sticky posts not appearing at the top of query loop results

Summary:
Sticky posts are not being placed at the top of the query loop as expected by default WordPress behaviour. When using a standard post query in Bricks Builder’s query loop, sticky posts should automatically appear at the top of the results without any additional configuration.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create one or more sticky posts in WordPress
  • Add a Bricks query loop block set to post type “Posts”
  • Leave the query at default settings
  • View the query loop output on the frontend

Expected behaviour:
Sticky posts should appear at the top of the query results, consistent with default WordPress WP_Query behaviour.

Actual behaviour:
Sticky posts appear in their regular chronological position and are not elevated to the top of the query results.

Additional context:

Hi @RicoGL ,

Thanks for posting this thread.

Unfortunately, I can’t replicate this issue following the setup. Do you have any other plugins that might change the post order?

My setup

2 sticky posts

Thank you for replicating the issue!

Unfortunately I have this issue even when no other plugins are activated. And I don’t have a child theme active.

I think I found the issue. I’m trying to display posts on a taxonomy archive page. And it seems sticky posts are ignored on taxonomy archive pages.
