Recent Posts Inconsistencies

Using Themes
1

Here is my repo: GitHub - imagelessthought/imageless-mainroad

I am using the mainroad theme.

The issue I am having is that there are two folders in content wit the same layouts and front matter. One is included in the recent posts and the other is not. I do not want either included but cannot seem to control that so I am hoping someone can help identify the issue.

The two folders under content/ are “departments” and “services”. Services works fine - they do not show up in the recent posts. Departments do and I am unable to detemrine why.

I have searched through everything I can think of but canot resolve.

Any ideas? Is this a bug, it seems like it, or is there a way to resolve this? Thanks.

I figured this out: It is controlled in the config file under:

[Params]
mainSections = [“posts”] # Specify section pages to show on home page and the “Recent articles” widget

It would be nice if these were not lumped together in one var: you may want them to appear in recent posts section but not shown on the homepage.

If that is possible by another means - please share. Thanks.

I found a workaround by adding these lines to /context/_index.md

.list__item { display: none; }

This hides them on the homepage but does not interfere with them appearing in recent on the sidebar.
