Yes, you can filter the tags displayed on the Blog Template using a Collection List in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you have the Blog Template.
- 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.
- Add a Collection List element to your Blog Template by dragging and dropping it from the Add panel.
- Connect the Collection List to your Blog posts Collection by selecting the appropriate Collection from the dropdown menu in the Collection List settings.
- Customize the layout of the Collection List to display the information you want, such as the Blog post title, thumbnail, and tags.
- 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.
- Once you have added the dropdown or multi-reference field, go back to your Blog Template and edit the Collection List element.
- Click on the "Filter content" button in the settings panel of the Collection List element.
- In the "Filter" dropdown, select the Tags field of your Blog posts Collection.
- 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.
- Customize the appearance of the filtered tags to suit your design and styling preferences.
- 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.
