Frequencies

Frequencies puts a single topic on stage. It takes one tag, shows its newest post as a lead story with four smaller items beside it, and offers your other selected tags as pills next to the heading.

Customization Steps#

The default value is popular:2: the two tags with the most posts, of which the first one supplies the stories.

How the Tag Is Chosen#

The filter selects a group of tags, and only the first tag in that group provides the posts. The remaining tags are rendered as pills.

The same syntax is used by every filter setting in the theme, learn more.

Layout#

• Lead story — the tag's newest post, with its feature image, title, excerpt and author
• Four follow-ups — the next four posts as compact rows with a thumbnail, title, author and short date
• Tag pills — next to the heading, each with the tag's accent color and post count

The pill of the tag currently on stage is highlighted. The other pills link to their own tag archives, where the same row of pills appears again with that tag marked as current, so readers can move from one topic to the next.

Notes#

• The section uses the five newest posts of the tag. With fewer posts, the row of follow-ups is simply shorter.
• A tag with no posts still renders the heading and the pills with nothing underneath. Pick a tag that has published posts.
• Editions (tags whose slug starts with issue-) are excluded from this filter, see Editions.
• recent orders by the date each tag was created, so the tag you made most recently leads the section.
• The heading Frequencies comes from the translation file. To rename it, see Section Headings.
