ignore_sticky_posts fails to remove sticky class

[mikkelbreum]

When setting the query_posts parameter:

ignore_sticky_posts = 1

all sticky posts are returned as normal posts and placed accordingly in the flow. However the sticky posts keep their sticky class, which means that an additional filtering of post_class is necessary to avoid any css rules defined for the .sticky selector taking effect.

is this intended, or could it be considered an enhancement if it was patched?

As far as I can tell, the sticky class is the only thing that allows you to style a sticky post.

Therefore, posts that are displayed normally shouldn't have the sticky class.

Judging by the syntax of the get_post_class() function, it does look like it shouldn't apply in this case:

345	        // sticky for Sticky Posts
346	        if ( is_sticky($post->ID) && is_home() && !is_paged() )
347	                $classes[] = 'sticky';

is_sticky doesn't check for ignore_sticky_posts ;) patch attached

Good catch, but you can just write

&& !get_query_var('ignore_sticky_posts')

Updated :)

When uploading a new version of a patch, don't overwrite the old one, so that context is preserved.

OK.

Theres a patch provided here (18035), but it hasn't been implemented as of WP 3.3. Any reason?
