Description

Front panels in the theme are showing more than 1 post at a time, e.g. in the Upcoming Workshops panel it shows both the landing page and an example post.

/* Begin extending widget for Upcoming Workshops front panel */
function snow_front_panel_sticky( $atts = array() ) {
    /* Default Parameters */
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'category__and' => 7,
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
        'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
    ), $atts));
    
    /* Query the posts */
    $the_query = new WP_Query($atts);
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            $the_query->the_post();
            $return .= '<p><a href="' .get_permalink(). '" title="' . get_the_title() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></p>' . '<p>' . get_the_excerpt() . '</p>';
        }
    } else {
        // No posts found
    }    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
    
    return $return;
}
add_shortcode('snow_front_panel_sticky', 'snow_front_panel_sticky');

  Simplified the block of code in snow_front_panel_sticky() instead of removing while loop:

  function snow_front_panel_sticky( $atts = array() ) {
      /* Default Parameters */
      $myatts = array(
          'post__in'  => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
          'posts_per_page' => 1
      );
      /* Merge category__and with the above parameters */
      $allatts = array_merge($atts, $myatts);
