WORDPRESS: How do I get one post to stay on top forver?

    I know all about the loop and inserting text above it. My problem is, I am using a plugin called tubepress. It only works within my posts. So, I need to make a post and make it stick at the top of the page above the loop...forever.

    Sticky-WP plugin worked and tubepress worked in it, but it messed my sidebars up.

    Can someone twll me how to accomplish this? Get the top post that is on my page at adviceforbritney.com to stay there...

    Thanks

    As sticky is the only option to keep your post to stay on top forever but as you said it messed your sidebars up then you need to change its date every day if you want to stay that post on top forever :rolleyes:

    DON.

    You could pay someone to fix it of course that would cost money.

    no need to edit the post date..

    just edit the post id to all 9s till you want the post to be sticky.. once the purpose is served edit it back to its original value..

    hope that helps..

    Actually, It didnt work :( When I post a future date, the post doesnt show up. Apparently, when I post it for a future date, it justs hangs out until the future date becomes the actual date.

    So, It doesnt work...again

    The easiest way is to write the html code manually at your nav menu. Good Luck!
