WP_Query post__not_in parameter ignored for sticky posts

[tidywebdev]

If you specify an array of post IDs for the postnot_in parameter when doing a custom query using a WP_Query object, the posts will still be returned if they are sticky.

The only way to avoid this is to also include the caller_get_posts=1 parameter, which stops the sticky posts appearing at the top of the post list, thus losing some of the sticky functionality.

This seems to have been fixed in 2.9.

[itxitx]

not fixed in wp 2.9.2

the behavior is:
if we have some sticky posts then set post__not_in parameter with one or two or more sticky post ID, instead excluding them from posts, it only changes the order of sticky posts.

(In [14217]) Ignore sticky posts which the current user cannot read, Ignore sticky posts which have been explicitly excluded with 'postnot_in'. Fixes #11197

(In [14245]) The read_post cap cannot be checked for sticky posts because not logged in users don't have any caps. see #11197
