I found a post which helped me create a list of a specified number of sticky posts onto my homepage:
<?php
query_posts('showposts=4');
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if ( is_sticky() ) :
the_title('<li><a href="">','</a></li>');
endif;
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
However I am totally stuck as how to link this to the post's permalink. I know the code for the permalink is the_permalink(); but I cannot seem to combine them so my link is in the a href="" field. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
<?php
query_posts('showposts=4');
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if ( is_sticky() ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></li>
<?php
endif;
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
