Can’t Pin Globally
KristiyanG is experiencing an issue with globally pinning topics. Despite the topic appearing as “pinned globally”, it doesn’t display at the top of the latest column on the homepage. Firepup650 suggested that Discourse automatically unpins topics once read, but KristiyanG clarified that the issue persists even when logging out, using incognito mode, or checking from another account. jessii provided a potential solution, suggesting that the issue might be related to the site setting desktop_category_page_style. Changing this setting to Categories and Latest Topics may resolve the issue and display the pinned topic at the top.
Hello everyone. First time posting, but long-time lurker here.
I have an issue with Pinned topics. When I try to pin globally, it only pins it in the respective category, not in latest on the homepage. The banner pin works fine, but I can’t find the reason why the regular global pin doesn’t work for me anymore. The topic appears as “pinned globally”, but doesn’t display at the top of latest.
Any help is greatly appreciated 
Have you already read the topic? If so, Discourse automatically unpins topics for you once read by default.
I have, but It appears unpinned even if I log out, use incognito mode or if I check it from another account.
Hey!
A globally pinned topic may not appear under the Latest column on your homepage if you have the site setting desktop_category_page_style set to Categories and Latest Topics (sort by topic created date), and depending on when it was created. You can change the site setting to Categories and Latest Topics and the pinned topic should be listed at the top!
