How can I display all non-featured blog posts in a second collection list on Webflow, including both featured and non-featured posts, but excluding the newest featured post displayed in the first list? Manually removing the featured flag from the old post every time a new featured post is published is not feasible.

TL;DR
  • First collection list: Display the newest featured post by filtering for "is Featured" true and sort by "Newest Published" with a limit of 1 item.
  • Second collection list: Display all older featured and non-featured posts by excluding the latest featured post with filters based on creation date and use conditional visibility for previously featured posts.

To create two collection lists in Webflow, one displaying the newest featured blog post and the other displaying all non-featured posts plus past featured ones, follow these steps:

1. Set Up Two Collection Lists

  • First Collection List: Display the newest featured post. 
  • Second Collection List: Display all posts excluding the latest featured post.

2. Configure the First Collection List

  • Add a Filter: Only display posts where is Featured is set to true.
  • Sort Orders: Arrange by Newest Published, and set the limit to 1 item to ensure it shows only the newest featured post.

3. Configure the Second Collection List

  • Add Multiple Filters:
  • Exclude posts where is Featured is true AND created in the last X days. Here, X depends on how frequently you publish new featured posts (e.g., 7 days for weekly posts).
  • Include posts with is Featured set to false to capture older non-featured posts.
  • Sort Options: Arrange the posts by Newest Published.

4. Use Conditional Visibility

  • Featured Badge: Add conditional visibility to show when is Featured is true on posts in the second collection.

Summary

Set up the first collection list to display only the newest featured post. For the second collection, filter non-featured posts while excluding the newest featured one with filtering based on recent creation date. Use conditional visibility to highlight previously featured posts. Adjust timeframe filters as necessary to match your publishing schedule, ensuring maintenance-free management of the collection lists.
