Category Help? I want to display single categories

Help
1

I have some categories, one of those categories is “bootstrap” I want to display only those posts with the category “bootstrap” on the /categories/bootstrap/ page. I have it set up so I can go to /categories/ and see all my categories. How do I get just the posts with the category “bootstrap” to show up on the bootstrap page?

I tried hitting site.categories.bootstrap in my for loop but nothing shows up?

{% for post in site.categories.bootstrap %}

What do I need to do to get just certain ones to show on a page? I do have the _categories/bootstrap.md and other example post categories in my site so I am not sure what is going on?

This is not the “correct” way, it is showing all titles on all category pages. I still need help :confused:

{% for post in site.posts %}
  {% for category in site.categories %}
    {% if category.name == "bootstrap" %}
- {{post.title}}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

On a category page:

{% for post in site.posts %}
    {% if post.category == page.slug %}
- {{post.title}}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

That doesn’t work. Nothing is displayed on the page.

Let me find you the right code… one moment.

EDIT: I have updated the previous answer.

That doesn’t seem to work either. I can get all posts to show up using this:

{% for post in site.posts %}
  {% for category in site.categories %}
    {% if category.name == page.slug %}
#### [{{post.title}}]({{post.url}})<br/><small>{{ post.date | date_to_long_string }}</small>
By: {{post.author}}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

and the header template on a sample post is like:

---
layout     : post
title      : "Sample Blog Post"
fid        : 50 
date       : "2023-02-26"
author     : yosileyid
categories : ['bootstrap', 'jekyll']
---

I don’t know why I can’t get it to work lol it is a pain.

I was finally able to get it to work using this:

{% for post in site.posts %}
  {% if post.categories contains 'bootstrap' %}
    
#### [{{post.title}}]({{post.url}})<br/><small>{{ post.date | date_to_long_string }}</small>
By: {{post.author}}
    
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

I was assuming a post had just one category. Glad you found it!
