Why isn’t sticky post query working with post per page in WordPress?

this is my post loop that i am using


                  <?php
                        $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
                            rsort( $sticky );
                                $args = array(
                                'post_type'           => 'post',
                                'post__in'            => $sticky,
                                'posts_per_page'      => 1
                                );
                           $sticky_query = new WP_Query( $args );
                          while ( $sticky_query->have_posts() ) : $sticky_query->the_post();
                      ?>
                    <article class="cust-arc-post">
                      <img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="">
                      <div class="arc-post-header">
                        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>
                        <a class="cat" href="javascript:;">Category Title</a>
                      </div>
                      <p><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' ); ?></p>
                    </article>
                      <?php endwhile;

    All the information you need can be found in the theme handbook

    As stated in the codex, this displays just the first sticky post, if none return the last post published:

    $args = array(
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
        'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

    Your problem likely lies in the rsort(); function, because it’s reversing the array from highest to lowest.

    Try the below code.

    <?php
    $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
    rsort( $sticky );
    $posts_per_page = 12;
    $sticky_count = count($sticky);
    
    if ($sticky_count < $posts_per_page) {
        $posts_per_page = $posts_per_page - $sticky_count;
    } else {
        $posts_per_page = 1;
    }

    $args = array(
        'post_type'      => 'post',
        'post__in'       => $sticky,
        'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page
    );
    $sticky_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    while ( $sticky_query->have_posts() ) : $sticky_query->the_post(); ?>
        <article class="cust-arc-post">
            <img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="">
            <div class="arc-post-header">
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>
                <a class="cat" href="javascript:;">Category Title</a>
            </div>
            <p><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' ); ?></p>
        </article>
    <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
