To create an inline related post in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Collection: Start by creating a new Collection in Webflow. This collection will store the related posts that you want to display inline. Each related post will be treated as a separate item in the collection.

  2. Design the Related Post Template: Design the layout and styling for the related post using the Collection Template page. You can add dynamic elements like text, images, and links to display the relevant content from each related post.

  3. Add a Related Posts Field: In your Collection, add a multi-reference field to connect the related posts. This field will allow you to select multiple related posts for each item in the collection.

  4. Add the Related Posts Section: On the page where you want to display the inline related posts, add a Collection List element. Connect it to the related post collection and set the layout to "Inline". This will stack the related posts horizontally.

  5. Customize the Collection List: Within the Collection List settings, choose the related posts field that you created in step 3. This will dynamically populate the related posts in the Collection List element.

  6. Style the Related Posts: Apply custom styles to the Collection List element and the related post template to match your design. You can also use custom interactions to create hover effects or animations.

  7. Preview and Publish: Preview the page to ensure that the inline related posts are displaying correctly. Make any necessary adjustments and then publish your changes to make them live on your website.

With these steps, you can easily create an inline related post section in Webflow, allowing you to showcase relevant content to your visitors.
