Yes, it is possible to allow visitors to filter through blog posts on a website using Webflow. You can achieve this by following these steps:

  1. Set up your CMS collection: Create a CMS collection for your blog posts and add the necessary fields (such as title, date, category, etc.) to store the relevant information for each post.

  2. Create a dynamic list: Add a dynamic list element to your blog posts page where you want the filtered posts to be displayed. Bind the list to your CMS collection.

  3. Add filter options: Use dropdown menus or buttons to allow visitors to select the filter criteria. For example, if you want to filter by category, you can create a dropdown menu with the category options.

  4. Set up filter interactions: Create interactions that will filter the dynamic list based on the user's selections. For example, when a user selects a category from the dropdown menu, an interaction should be triggered to filter the posts by that category.

  5. Filter the dynamic list: Use the filter option in the dynamic list settings to filter the blog posts based on the selected criteria. You can set up multiple filters if needed.

  6. Test and refine: Preview your website and test the filter functionality to ensure it correctly filters the blog posts based on the user's selections. Make any necessary adjustments to the filter interactions or settings.

By implementing these steps, you can allow visitors to filter through your blog posts on a website using Webflow, similar to the way templates are filtered on the Webflow templates page.
