OK. It would be good to have this feature in your theme.
However, I had an idea for a workaround, which was to set the date of the ‘sticky’ post to a date a long time in the future so it’s always the newest.
However, by default, wordpress then makes this a scheduled post.
So, I found this piece of code to over-ride that and publish it now:
//make future post date visible now
function onetarek_prevent_future_type( $post_data ) {
if ( $post_data['post_status'] == 'future' && $post_data['post_type'] == 'post' )#Here I am checking post_type='post' , you may use different post type and if you want it for all post type then remove "&& $post_data['post_type'] == 'post'"
{
$post_data['post_status'] = 'publish';
}
return $post_data;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'onetarek_prevent_future_type');
remove_action('future_post', '_future_post_hook');This does what I need it to. Thanks all the same
Hi Simion. Thank you so much for this.
I got it working : )
I couldn’t get your code to work but it was this, from your code, that helped:
,$this->post->ID); ?>
So, this is the code that worked:
<?php $universitylogo = get_field( 'universitylogo',$this->post->ID); ?>
<?php if ( $universitylogo ) { ?>
" alt="<?php echo $universitylogo['alt']; ?>" />
<?php } ?>
The field in ACF was set to ‘image’ then select ‘image array’
In the general ACF field settings it was ‘post type’ equal to ‘post’
Thanks so much for your help. You are a genius : )
Just one more question. You mentioned this in the other post you linked to.

Where are these custom fields found? I don’t have them on any post page. I’ve also checked the screen options, in case it was hidden but it’s not there either?
Sorry. The link above has changed to this:

Hi again. I’m having trouble getting this to work. Are you able to help at all?
I’ve created a custom filed in ACF for adding an image.
I’ve then opened the module I’m using – td_module_flex_1.php
Then added the field code like this:
<?php
class td_module_flex_1 extends td_module {
function __construct($post, $module_atts = array()) {
//run the parrent constructor
parent::__construct($post, $module_atts);
}
function render() {
ob_start();
$hide_image = $this->get_shortcode_att('hide_image');
$image_size = $this->get_shortcode_att('image_size');
$category_position = $this->get_shortcode_att('modules_category');
$btn_title = $this->get_shortcode_att('btn_title');
$title_length = $this->get_shortcode_att('mc1_tl');
$author_photo = $this->get_shortcode_att('author_photo');
$excerpt_length = $this->get_shortcode_att('mc1_el');
$excerpt_position = $this->get_shortcode_att('excerpt_middle');
if (empty($image_size)) {
$image_size = 'td_696x0';
}
if (empty($btn_title)) {
$btn_title = 'Read more';
}
$excerpt = '<div class="td-excerpt">';
$excerpt .= $this->get_excerpt($excerpt_length);
$excerpt .= '</div>';
?>
<div class="<?php echo $this->get_module_classes();?>">
<div class="td-module-container td-category-pos-<?php echo $category_position; ?>">
<?php if( $hide_image == '' ) { ?>
<div class="td-image-container">
<?php if ($category_position == 'image') { echo $this->get_category(); }?>
<?php echo $this->get_image($image_size, true);?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<?php if ($category_position == 'above') { echo $this->get_category(); }?>
<?php echo $this->get_title($title_length);?>
<?php if ($excerpt_position == 'yes') { echo $excerpt; } ?>
<div class="td-editor-date">
<?php if ($category_position == '') { echo $this->get_category(); }?>
<span class="td-author-date">
<?php if( $author_photo != '' ) { echo $this->get_author_photo(); } ?>
<?php echo $this->get_author();?>
<?php echo $this->get_date();?>
<?php echo $this->get_comments();?>
</span>
</div>
<?php if ($excerpt_position == '') { echo $excerpt; } ?>
<div class="td-read-more">
href;?>"><?php echo __td($btn_title, TD_THEME_NAME);?>
</div>
cat<div class="uni-logo"><?php $uni_logo = get_field( 'uni_logo' ); ?>
<?php if ( $uni_logo ) { ?>
" alt="<?php echo $uni_logo['alt']; ?>" />
<?php } ?></div>dog
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php return ob_get_clean();
}
}
I’ve added the text ‘cat / dog’ before and after my code so i could see where it is supposed to appear.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
