I created a simple loop through posts in in list.html. In the browser when I go to [http://localhost:1313/posts/](http://localhost:1313/posts/) it works correctly. But I want this to be part of the [http://localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313).  
I tried to make this a main block and used in baseof.html as

```auto
   	{{- block "main" . }}{{- end }}

```

but still nothing.

What about your `index.html`?

When I run the following code in the index.html it doesn’t show anything properly it just shows the word “posts” with a date! instead of showing actual posts. it just mentions the posts folder I guess.  
``

```
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Pages "Type" "posts") }}

{{ range $paginator.Pages }}

<article>

<h1>{{.Title}}</h1>
<p class="article-detail-date">{{ .Date.Format "January 2, 2006" }}</p>
<p>{{ .Summary | plainify | safeHTML }}</p>

{{ if .Truncated }}
<a href="{{ .Permalink }}">Read more</a> 
{{ end }}

</article>

{{ end }}

<div class="page-nav">

  {{ if .Paginator.HasPrev }}
  <a href="{{ .Paginator.Prev.URL }}">
    {{- partial "svg/icons" "chevron-left" -}} Newer
  </a>
  {{ else }}
  <div></div>
  {{ end }}

  {{ if .Paginator.HasNext }}
  <a href="{{ .Paginator.Next.URL }}">
    Older {{- partial "svg/icons" "chevron-right" -}}
  </a>
  {{ end }}

</div>

```

``

while the /posts is showing properly

Could you try to replace `.Pages` with `.Site.RegularPages`?

[Context](https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/#the-dot) (`.Something` =/= `.Site.Something`).
