I want to have my collections show up at /links, but localhost shows the list of all the items in my collection instead of the loop containing my posts. What did I miss? I have the following configuration with dummy content. collections: links: output: true layout: links title: Bacon links…

[image] chrisfinazzo: for item you are doing for item but then you do links.url it should be item.url, item.title etc.

I’ve updated _config.yml to output a permalink at /links/ which solves the first issue, but now my URLs point there, ignoring the for loop. Updated code from _layouts/links.html is as follows: --- layout: default --- {% for link in site.links %} <p><a href="{{link.url}}">{{link.title}}</a></p> …

not real clear on what you are doing, is there a repo to look at? Maybe you did a a permalink in the defaults in the config that is just /links/ and so they are all getting that - maybe it needs to be /links/:name or something similar - I don’t use defaults so I am not real sure on the formatting, …

You also have some layout confusion going on. What is currently in _layouts/links.html looks more like a index page for links… not a layout for the link collection documents. --- layout: default --- {% for link in site.links %} <p><a href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title }}</a></p> {% endfor %} …

Took another run at this and after walking through a Cloud Cannon tutorial to check myself, everything appears to be working. :raised_hands:t3: Didn’t click with me initially that a separate page other than the index had to exist at the root of the site. :man_facepalming:t2: I think I get it now.…
