Can I have multiple templates for different blog post categories in Webflow?
No, currently Webflow does not support multiple templates for different blog post categories. Webflow's CMS feature allows you to create dynamic content, including blog posts, but it provides only one template for all blog posts. This means that all blog posts will have the same structure and design.
However, there are workarounds you can implement to achieve a similar effect:
Use conditional visibility: You can use the conditional visibility feature to show or hide certain elements based on the category of a blog post. By adding a category field to your blog post collection in the CMS, you can then set up conditions to show specific elements or sections only when a post belongs to a certain category.
Create different CMS collections: Instead of using categories, you can create different CMS collections representing different blog post categories. Each collection can have its own template and design. This approach requires separate collections for each category, but it allows you to have different designs and structures for each category.
Custom code: If you have coding skills or are willing to hire a developer, you can use custom code to create multiple templates for different blog post categories. This approach involves creating separate HTML templates and then integrating them with Webflow using custom code.
Keep in mind that while these workarounds can help you achieve different designs for different blog post categories, they might require additional setup and maintenance compared to having built-in multiple templates.
Is it possible to display a homepage that includes content from multiple Collection Lists in Webflow?
Yes, it is possible to display a homepage that includes content from multiple Collection Lists in Webflow. Collection Lists allow you to dynamically display CMS content on your page, and you can have multiple Collection Lists on a single page.
Here's how you can accomplish this:
Create Collection Lists: Start by setting up multiple Collection Lists in your CMS. Each Collection List should be linked to a specific collection and can display a specific number of items from that collection.
Place Collection Lists on the homepage: In the Webflow designer, add Collection List elements to your homepage where you want the content to appear. For each Collection List element, select the corresponding collection and configure other settings like the sorting order, filter, and item limit.
Design each Collection List: Customize the design of each Collection List element using Webflow's styling tools and layout options. You can change the layout, typography, colors, and other visual aspects to match your design requirements.
Populate the CMS: Fill your CMS collections with the necessary content. Each item in the collection will be dynamically displayed within the respective Collection List on the homepage.
By following these steps, you can display content from multiple Collection Lists on your homepage, giving you the flexibility to showcase different types of content in a visually appealing manner.
