Tag Sticky Post Plugin

Tag Sticky Post allows you to mark a post to be displayed – or stuck – to the top of each archive page for the specified
tag.

Tag Sticky Post…

• Allows you to select which tag in which to stick a post
• Will display the post on the top of the first page of the archive just like WordPress’ sticky posts
• Will only allow you to stick a single post per tag
• Displays whether or not a post is stuck in a tag on the Post Edit dashboard
• Provides light styling that should look good in most themes
• Is available on each post editor page
• Is fully localized and ready for translation
• Includes a custom.css file so that you can style the plugin to look however you want
