Hide posts with a specfic tag on the 'homepage'

Using Ghost
1

I’ve read number of posts about this, and I believe I’m following as described, how I’m not getting it to work.

I have a newsletter called ‘The Weekly’ that I want to send as an email and then only appear on a separate page for the tag “the-weekly”. I’ve also added the tag “hide” so that I can use it in the routes.yaml file.

I have downloaded the routes.yaml file which looks like this:

routes:

collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template: index
    filter: tag:-[hide]

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

However, I am still seeing all of The Weekly posts on the home page, and now, when I click on any of them, I get a 404.

Any ideas?

Is that source? Source does not respect routing.

Yes tt is Source theme.

Yep, known problem with the way Source is setup. Consider using a different theme (perhaps Casper?) that respects routing, or it’s a fairly easy fix to edit the theme, if you can load a custom theme (not on Ghost pro’s starter plan).

Thank you. I’ve switched out to Headline and this now works perfectly. In fact, the theme suits me even better than Source did.
