Hello!
I’ve wanted to add ‘pinned’ posts that would always stay on top, so I’ve created two Elementor Posts Widgets on the same page. One only includes posts with the term “Featured” while others exclude them. This works great since I can also use different loop templates for them.
However the filter will only work on one widget at a time, currently the one on top.How do I make it so the same filter will apply to both widgets at the same time?
Thank you!
Hi,
I’m afraid this is not possible to do. For each search query there is only a single way to override, hook into and change the results.
Even if it was doable, the only thing that would happen is you would see the same exact results on both widgets (correctly), which is probably not what you are looking for.
Is there some way to change the order to create featured posts that are always on top? I’m using a custom post type so I can’t make them sticky. I’ve also tried using Seamless Sticky Custom Post Types but it doesn’t seem to work

Hi,
When searching the stickied items will not actually stick unfortunately. You can however use the results priorities for that. So in case of a match the selected items will be pushed to the top of the results list.
Hi!
Thank you! That seems to work, however only after I search something. Is there a way to keep them on top before searrching as well or, if that’s not possible, can I add another widget with the featured ones on top and hide it if there is a search?
You are welcome!
You could in theory try the auto-populate feature. Set it up like this. That will basically trigger an empty search which should yield the results with the prioritized items on top.
That doesn’t work, because when there’s no filters the itens aren’t on top. I currently added the featured ones as a separate element and hide it based on the search query. However I don’t know how to access the query on javascript, so I had to enable “Update the browser address bar with the last selected options?” and use the current url as a parameter. Is there a way to access the query information without updating the browser url?
Thank you for all the help so far
I think you could hook into the asp_search_start event, which is fired when a search is triggered via ajax search pro.
Something like:
document.querySelectorAll(".asp_main_container").forEach(function(el){ el.addEventListener("asp_search_start", function(event) { document.querySelector("#featured_element").style.display = 'none'; }); });Unfortunately that doesn’t work either. The same issue happens: when there are no active search filters (ie filters_initial=0) the featured posts won’t go on top. 🙁 If there’s no way to get the query parameters through js I might just leave it with the url changed, then.
Thank you again
