What?
Closes #69424
This PR addresses the inconsistency between how the Latest Posts block displays posts in the editor versus the front end. Previously, sticky posts would always appear at the top of the list in the editor, regardless of the sorting parameters, but would display in their chronological position on the front end.
The fix adds the
ignore_sticky: trueparameter to the post query in the editor, ensuring that sticky posts are treated the same in both contexts. They are displayed according to the selected ordering parameters rather than being prioritized at the top.Why?
The Latest Posts block should respect the specified ordering parameters and display posts consistently between the editor and the front end. The current inconsistency creates a confusing user experience where what users see in the editor doesn't match what visitors see on the published page.
How?
This PR adds the
ignore_sticky: trueparameter to the query in the Latest Posts block's editor component.Testing Instructions
