Hi,  
I am using the following

```auto
{{ range where .Paginator.Pages "Params.hidden" "ne" "true" }}

```

To list posts on site excluding the ones that have parameter hidden set.

In config `paginate = 10`

Instead of getting 10 pages, I got only 8 on the first page, 10 on the second and then 3rd page is generated with no pages in the list.

I know that simple issue, but I am a bit confused now about how to get this sorted?

Select your pages, _then_ paginate.

```auto
{{ $p := where site.RegularPages "Type" "post" }}
{{ range (.Paginate $p).Pages }}

```

And your boolean comparison should not be quoted:  
`true` instead of `"true"`
