I wanted something that would show up to 5 recent posts of the same category. Jekyll has a related_posts site variable, but it filters by tags instead of categories, and it was giving me all kinds of weirdnesses. I figured out a solution with some clever use of the liquid syntax [1](#fn:1):

				
					
{% unless page.category == null %}

  {% capture pageCategory %}{{ page.category }}{% endcapture %}

  {% unless site.categories[pageCategory].size == 1 %}

    <div class="row related-posts">

      <h2 class="text-center">More {{ page.category }} Posts!</h2>

      <div class="medium-12 small-12 columns">

        {% for post in site.categories[pageCategory] limit:6 %}

          {% unless post.title == page.title %}



           <h3>

            <a href="{{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}">

              {{ post.title }}

            </a>

           </h3>



          {% endunless %}

        {% endfor %}

      </div>

    </div>

  {% endunless %}

{% endunless %}
  1. I simplified the markup that displays each related post, just to be simpler for demonstration purposes. [↩](#fnref:1)
