Eleventy: How do we paginate categories.

[clockshark]

I came up with a way to paginate my blog home but not my blog categories.
Can someone help?
This is my blog home.

layout: home
wf: "5d5340185c5ff33536794edc"
title: ClockShark.Com Blog
description: Get the latest information on how to run your field service or construction company better.
permalink: "/Blog/{% if pagination.pageNumber > 0 %}{{ pagination.pageNumber | plus: 1 }}/{% endif %}index.html"
pagination:
  data: collections.blogposts
  size: 12
  alias: posts
---
{% include topbar-blog.html %}
     <div class="blog-home-cat-header">
          <div class="w-container">
               <div class="cat-header-text">Latest News</div>
          </div>
     </div>
    <div class="blog-home-items">
      <div class="w-container">
        <div class="blog-home">
            {% for post in posts %}

              <div class="blog-item">
                <div class="blog-item-top">
                  <div class="catergory-date-header">
                    <div class="catergory-header"><a href="/Blog/Category/{{ post.data.categories | first | default: "Unassigned" }}" class="category-header-link">
                        {{ post.data.categories | first | default: "Unassigned" }}
                    </a></div>
                    <div class="date-header">
                      <div class="text-block-7">{{ post.data.date | date: "%B %e, %Y" }}</div>
                    </div>
                  </div>
                  {% include image.html, image: post.data.featureimage, clip: true, height: 240, width: 380, class: "blog-item-thumb" %}
                  <div class="blog-post-title">
                    <div><a href="{{ post.data.permalink }}" class="link-2">{{ post.data.title }}</a></div>
                  </div>
                  <p class="paragraph-31">{{ post.data.excerpt | strip_html | truncatewords: 25  }}</p>
                </div>
                <div class="blog-post-readmore">
                  <div><a href="{{ post.data.permalink }}" class="read-more-link">Read more...</a></div>
                </div>
              </div>

          {% endfor %}
        </div>
        <!-- Pagination links -->
        <div class="page-selector">
          {% if pagination.previousPageHref %}
            <a href="{{ pagination.previousPageHref }}" class="page-numbers">
              Previous
            </a>
          {% else %}
            <span class="page-numbers">Previous</span>
          {% endif %}
          <span class="page-numbers ">
            Page: {{ pagination.pageNumber | plus: 1 }} of {{ pagination.items | size }}
          </span>
          {% if pagination.nextPageHref %}
            <a href="{{ pagination.nextPageHref }}" class="page-numbers">Next</a>
          {% else %}
            <span class="page-numbers">Next</span>
          {% endif %}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

and this is my category home

pagination:
  data: collections
  size: 1
  alias: tag
  filter:
    - all
    - nav
    - post
    - posts
    - blogposts
    - featurepages
permalink: /Blog/Category/{{ tag }}/
layout: home
renderData:
  title: "Category “{{ tag }}”"
  permalink: /Blog/Category/{{ tag }}/

     {% include topbar-blog.html %}

               </div>
          </div>
          <div class="blog-home-items">
            <div class="w-container">
              <div class="blog-home">
                  {% assign posts = collections[tag] | reverse %}
                  {% for post in posts %}

                          <div class="date-header">

renderData:
  title: "Category “{{ tag }}”"
  permalink: /Blog/Category/{{ tag }}/

You can have a template substitution in front matter only for permalink. Therefore, title: "Category “{{ tag }}”" can't work.

Have a look at use-data-variables-in-permalink.

You can easily put the tag inside the template:

<head>
...
<title>Category {{ tag }}</title>
...
</head>

This is a duplicate of #776 I think?

Ah this is the double-layer pagination problem. There is a way to do this but it isn’t super friendly right now.

See the example I posted here: #332
Also upvote #461 if you’d like to see a nicer way integrated into core

We figured out a way to do this. We will publish a document on how to do this.
