What is the best way to dynamically create new pages for subsequent pages of 10 posts in Webflow's Blog Archive/List?
To dynamically create new pages for subsequent pages of 10 posts in Webflow's Blog Archive/List, you can follow these steps:
Set up your Blog Collection: First, make sure you have set up a Collection in Webflow to hold your blog posts. Each blog post item should have a unique URL and be added to the Collection.
Create a Blog List page: Create a new page and set it as the Blog List. This page will display a list of your blog posts.
Design your Blog List page: Use the Webflow Designer to design your Blog List page. You can add elements like a heading, image, date, and a brief description for each blog post item. Design the layout and style according to your desired design.
Add a Collection List: On the Blog List page, add a Collection List element. This element will dynamically display the blog post items from your Collection.
Set the Collection List settings: Configure the Collection List to display the desired number of posts per page. In this case, you want 10 posts per page. You can set the "Limit" option in the Collection List settings to 10.
Set up Pagination: Enable Pagination in the Collection List settings. This will automatically create subsequent pages for your blog posts.
Customize Pagination settings: Customize the Pagination settings to determine how the subsequent pages are displayed. You can choose to show page numbers, previous/next buttons, or both. Adjust the styling and layout as needed.
Create a Blog Post page: Create a new page for displaying each individual blog post. This page will be dynamically linked to each blog post item from the Blog List.
Design your Blog Post page: Use the Webflow Designer to design your Blog Post page. Add elements to display the full content of a blog post, such as the title, author, date, featured image, and the main content.
Link the Blog List to Blog Post page: Go back to the Blog List page and select the Collection List element. In the settings panel, set the "Link settings" to link to the Blog Post page and bind the appropriate fields to the dynamic content.
Style your Blog Post page: Customize the styling of the Blog Post page to match your design and ensure a consistent look across all blog posts.
Publish and test: Preview the site to ensure everything is functioning as expected. Test the pagination by clicking on subsequent pages to check if the desired number of posts is displayed.
By following these steps, you can dynamically create new pages for subsequent pages of 10 posts in Webflow's Blog Archive/List. This allows you to organize your blog posts efficiently and provide a seamless user experience for your visitors.
