Is it possible to make a post a Sticky in the main feed as well as its category?

i think you mean pinning topics (first post, can’t pin replies). go to the topic post and click/tap the admin wrench in top right corner and go to pin topic:

there will be a variety of options and settings - i would suggest trying them to get what you want. i believe you want the make banner topic (or pin globally) option:

Thanks, I did see that but the banner pin shows the entire post. Looking for a way to just make it the same format as a regular topic…just maybe highlighted and pinned at the top of all. Maybe there is a plugin. I’ll have to do more digging.

In the settings you can decide whether excerpts for pinned topics are shown and how long they are.

Not this either. The pinned banner on all topics puts in in like an iframe and its own scroll bar at the top of all.

Oh sorry, I thought you used pin globally and not the banner option.

what exactly is it you are trying to do? based on your posts, i am unclear as to why none of those solutions work, or i am not understanding what it is you are asking for. perhaps there is a banner theme component or topic preview component that might be usable for your use case? maybe describe what it is specifically you want displayed as a global banner from the topic post? is it simply the topic title?

did you see this?
