The "latest" section query omits
ignore_sticky_posts, while the hero and side queries explicitly set it to true. When a site has sticky posts, WordPress re-injects them at the top of this third query, which can duplicate stories already shown above and make theoffsetskip the wrong non-sticky posts. Addignore_sticky_posts => truehere to keep homepage sections consistent and non-overlapping.Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
