Overview
This plugin adds a “Stick this to the front page” checkbox on the admin add/edit entry page of selected custom post types.
Set options to enable in Settings → Reading. Unless you’re using custom queries to display your sticky posts, you probably want to check the option to add selected post types to the blog home.
Note: Sticky custom posts are stored in the global ‘sticky_posts’ option field, just like regular posts.

Changelog
1.2.3
- Added contributions by Viper007Bond including enhanced posts filter (now affects main query only and will respect other post types) and formatting updates to conform with the official WordPress Coding Standards doc in the codex.
- Home query no longer modified at all if “Display selected post type(s) on home page” option is left unchecked (note that this means that checked sticky custom posts will show up in the home feed but non-sticky custom posts will be left out of the normal flow).
