- Short Description
- SEO-safe meta description for sticky posts: Pin any post, choose one per thread. The add-on ensures search engines see the first regular message below, avoiding stuck descriptions on all pages. Visual badge and permissions included.
Unlike typical solutions, the add-on takes SEO into account: the pinned message is ignored when building <meta name="description", so search engines and social networks receive the description from the first regular post below the pinned one.
This makes it possible to use a sticky post without the classic issue where the meta description on every page of the thread gets stuck on the same sticky message.
✨ Features
📌 Pin any post in a thread
Not just the first message. You can choose any suitable post and move it to the top.
🧷 One sticky per thread
Each thread can have only one pinned post. If you pin another one, the previous sticky is removed automatically.
✨ Convenient UX without extra checkboxes
The Sticky button is located directly in the message attribution next to #N. Click it and the post is pinned immediately.
🔎 SEO-safe meta description
The pinned message does not participate in building the meta description. The page description is taken from the first regular message below it.
📄 Correct behavior on every page of the thread
The sticky post is shown first not only on the first page, but throughout the entire thread view.
🏷️ Visual label for the pinned message
The pinned post displays a neat standard Sticky post badge.
⚙️ Permissions
The add-on adds two forum permissions:
Can stick and unstick posts in own threads
Allows pinning posts only in the user's own threads.
Can stick and unstick posts in others' threads
Allows pinning posts in any forum threads.
This makes it possible to use a sticky post without the classic issue where the meta description on every page of the thread gets stuck on the same sticky message.
