Loop trough subfolder of _posts?

[wesselgrift]

I can't seem to figur this out. Is it possible to loop trough posts and pages in a subfolder of "_posts"?

Like so:

{% for page in posts.staticpages %} {{ page.title }} {% endfor %}

I believe you're looking for site.categories.category_name I know that works for where you have:

category_name
  _posts
    2015-04-29-post-name.md

but not if the folder is within the _posts folder

That's the thing, I want to be able to loop trough markdown files in a subfolder of the posts folder.

Well it's a clunky solution, but if you have or make something in your front matter that's consistent you can use the 'where' filter. Sorry I don't have a better solution!

You could put the categories folders within the posts folder, like:

_posts category-a 2015-01-01-a-post.md category-b 2016-01-02-another-post.md

Maybe see https://github.com/mmistakes/so-simple-theme for example of using categories like this... Still clunky but at least keeps stuff within posts folder

That's how I solved it now yes :) But its good to see that most people solve it like this, atleast I know there isn't a better solution.
