setting page index in front matter about nextein HOT 3 CLOSED

Glad you've find out a solution. I'll close this issue for now. Please feel free to re open it or create a new in case you have more questions.

BTW, I really love the simplicity of your blog design. It's pure beauty.

Hi @charlespeters. I'm guessing you want to display a single post in your index file. If that is correct, unfortunately withPost won't work for you. What you can do in that case is to assign a specific category and use it with withPostsFilterBy(inCategory('your-index-only-category')) and display it as it were a list (although it might contain only one item).

The reason this scenario won't work for index is because it's intended to be the entry point. To make withPost to work you need a url that will be attached to a single post (like a permalink).

Maybe another way could be to define the permalink of your post as:

---
page: index
permalink: /
---  

But I'm not sure if that will work as expected. Plus, it looks a bit tricky for me. I'd prefer to use the category solution for displaying a post in index

Let me know if I got this wrong.
