What It Does

Category Sticky Post allows you to mark a post to be displayed – or stuck – to the top of each archive page for the specified category.

This plugin enables you to select which category in which to stick a post. It will display the post on the top of the first page of the archive just like built-in sticky posts. You can only stick a single post per category, and it provides light styling that should look good in most themes.

The plugin is available on each post editor page and is fully localized and ready for translation. For more information or to follow the project, check out the project page.
