Hi,

I have the following structure for the content where the section « Projects » is structured with nested subfolders with 2 levels:

```
content
└── Projects
    ├── project-A
    	|-- post-A1
		|_index.md
	|-- post-A2
		|_index.md
    	|-- post-A3
	|-- post-A4
    	|-- _index.md
    └── Project-B
    	|-- post-B1
	|-- post-B2
    	|-- post-B3
	|-- post-B4
    	|-- _index.md

```

How to list only the first level of subfolders, meaning listing only the information from `_index.md` at the first level with the result as follows :

```
-	Project A
-	Project B
-	Etc.

```

With no listing of the post-A1, post-A2, etc…  
Thanks for your help

`(.Site.GetPage "section" "Projects").Sections` should give you the sections you want.

@Polarhardboiled Just to make sure, are you doing this (below), and it doesn’t work?

```auto
{{ $sections := (.Site.GetPage "section" "Projects").Sections }}

```

then

```auto
{{ range $sections }}
{{ .Title }} <!-- or whatever -->
{{ end }}

```

And one more note. I believe the section name is case sensitive, so if your folder name is “projects” make sure you’re using lower case. You can avoid this altogether by using something like this:

```auto
{{ $sections := (.Site.GetPage "section" .Section).Sections }}

```

Note, instead of using `Projects` I used `.Section` which will pick up whatever section you’re currently on.
