01 / Interactive demonstration
A real sticky post badge
These are the actual published outputs of the widget on a sample sticky post: the plain note, an amber star badge, and a quieter pinned label.
02 / Inside WordPress
Sticky post note controls in Elementor
Content sets the note text, text before and after, a fallback for posts that are not sticky, the HTML tag and an optional icon. In the editor the note is always shown, with a short reminder, so it can be designed on any post. The Style tab covers typography, colour, alignment, background, border, radius and padding, plus icon position, size, gap and colour.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use sticky post note
WordPress lets you stick important posts to the top of the blog, but nothing on the post itself tells readers it is featured. Sticky post note shows your badge only on sticky posts and nothing on the rest, so one template works for every post.
Announcements
Mark the important notice that stays on top.
Loop grids
Highlight pinned posts in a post grid.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot sticky post note
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the badge missing on the frontend?
The post is not marked “Stick to the top of the blog”, or it is a page. Only sticky blog posts show it.
Why does the editor always show it?
So you can style it on any post. A short note reminds you visitors see it only on sticky posts.
Can pages be sticky?
No. WordPress only makes blog posts sticky.
Can I show something on other posts?
Yes. Set Text when source is empty.
Sticky post note plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Where do I make a post sticky?
In the post editor's Status settings, or with Quick Edit in the posts list.
Does it slow the page down?
No. It checks one WordPress setting.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is plain text, and the optional icon is hidden from screen readers.
Does it add JavaScript?
No. It is plain HTML and CSS.
