Adds a new column to the posts table in the admin to display if a post is sticky or not.
Determining what posts are sticky or not should be easier than editing each post or comparing a list of posts displayed on your site to the list in the Edit Posts table in the admin. This plugin will add a new column titled Sticky and place a check mark in this column if the post is Sticky.
Props to Joel Fisher for the idea behind this plugin.

Do I have to go into the table directly to mark that a post is sticky? I do not see a checkbox anywhere on the “post” form. Thank you!
@Jennifer: As the plugins name states this plugin only shows you which posts are sticky. It does not give you the ability to mark them as sticky. However there are 2 ways to mark a post as sticky in WordPress.
The first is to edit the post, click ‘Edit’ beside of Visibility and mark it as sticky.
The other way is when looking at the list of posts on the edit posts page, and hovering over a row for a post click “Quick Edit” and then to the far right select “Make this post sticky” and click update.
Matt this rules. Is there a way to add a filter to the edit.php (like adding a button or text link) so the page will only show sticky posts? This way we can easily enable / disable stickiness in a batch format using Bulk Actions / Edit.
Cheers,
Josh
@Josh: I’ll put on my to-do list and see what comes of it.
Hey, thanx Matt, looking forward to it — and for fixing the typo in my previous post :-)
Thanks for the plugin; now I can finally know which posts are sticky!
I’d also like to see the filter option Josh mentioned.
The latest comments are so old that I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you for the plugin. This does make it easier to see the sticky posts. I too would LOVE to see this have a filter so that I can show ONLY the sticky posts. Meanwhile, I am still looking for a plugin that adds a Sticky column to the posts admin (ie. All, Published, Sticky, Drafts, Trash) so that I can see them all at once and easily work with them.
