Yes, you can filter the tags displayed on the Blog Template using a Collection List in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you have the Blog Template.
  2. Make sure you have a Collection that contains the Blog posts with their corresponding tags. If you haven't set up a Collection yet, go to the Collections tab and create one with the necessary fields, including a Tags field.
  3. Add a Collection List element to your Blog Template by dragging and dropping it from the Add panel.
  4. Connect the Collection List to your Blog posts Collection by selecting the appropriate Collection from the dropdown menu in the Collection List settings.
  5. Customize the layout of the Collection List to display the information you want, such as the Blog post title, thumbnail, and tags.
  6. To filter the tags, you need to add a dropdown or multi-reference field to your Blog posts Collection that allows you to select the desired tags for each post.
  7. Once you have added the dropdown or multi-reference field, go back to your Blog Template and edit the Collection List element.
  8. Click on the "Filter content" button in the settings panel of the Collection List element.
  9. In the "Filter" dropdown, select the Tags field of your Blog posts Collection.
  10. Choose the filter type that suits your requirements. For example, you can select "Is" and then select a tag from the dropdown menu to only show Blog posts with that specific tag.
  11. Customize the appearance of the filtered tags to suit your design and styling preferences.
  12. Publish your website to see the filtered tags in action on your Blog Template.

By following these steps, you can easily filter the tags displayed on the Blog Template using a Collection List in Webflow. This allows you to create dynamic and personalized blog pages with different tag options for your readers to explore.
