Sticky single post page doesn't have .sticky class

[sgr33n]

As explained in summary, it's impossible to style a single page for a sticky post without modifying content.php, why this? it's a behavior wanted.

wp-includes\post-template.php, line 344:

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

Thanks :)

is_home() was added in [8847] (for #7712).

Replied on that Ticket,
Thanks!

So...

Why this? It should be good to have the same class on the single page. You can even overwrite the default style via css by using .single .sticky

A workaround:

function sticky_class_for_single_post_23559( $classes, $class, $post_id ) {
	if ( ! in_array( 'sticky', $classes ) && is_sticky( $post_id ) && ! is_paged() )
		$classes[] = 'sticky';

	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'post_class', 'sticky_class_for_single_post_23559', 10, 3 );

Thanks for your workaround Sergey... anyway my ticket was for ask why this choice to exclude is_single(). Maybe the decision was taken in the past for something now outdated, so it could make sense to activate it again.

Replying to sgr33n:

why this choice to exclude is_single().

Sticky posts are meant as a way to bump the priority of a specific post, regardless of the date it was published and its place in the timeline. Since it only has to be distinguished when displayed among other posts, there is no immediate need for that information on single where it is the only post displayed.

I agree with obenland
