I am attempting to exclude all sticky posts from my home.php page in Adventurous theme. I have specified a category to be shown on the home page. When I stick any post, it appears above the category posts – which is normal.

What I want is not to show the sticky posts in the home page. I tried this code in home.php $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ) ) ); but it removes the front page category’s posts.

How can I exclude the sticky posts from Home.php??!

@mohanghabo: For this, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php, add the following codes:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'adventurous_child_ignore_sticky' );
function adventurous_child_ignore_sticky( $query ) {
    if ($query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home()) 
    {
        $query->set( 'ignore_sticky_posts', 1 );
    }
}
