Lonely Sticky

By default, the plugin allows to have only one sticky post at a time, which means that when saving a post that has been flagged as sticky, it automatically unsticks other posts. Under Settings > Lonely Sticky, an option can be found that allows you to define how many sticky posts can exist at a time. For example, if a maximum of 3 posts is allowed, when saving a post that has been flagged as sticky, the two most recent sticky posts present (if any) will be kept as sticky, along the one that’s being saved. Setting the option to 0 will disable sticky posts completely.
