#match not working inside #get with slug name

I have a bunch of posts that the tag ends with ‘-series’ to denote that post is part of a series of posts. I am trying to create a page that will show all posts that are in a series.

I tried setting up a debugging section of my page to help me understand how the #match helper works. This is what I have:

<div style="background: #fff; padding: 1rem; margin: 1rem; border: 2px solid red;">
    <h3>TEST 2: All tags with match helper "~$" "-series"</h3>
    {{#get "tags" filter="visibility:public" limit="all"}}
        <ul>
        {{#foreach tags}}
            <li>{{name}} ({{slug}})
                {{#match slug "~$" "-series"}}
                    <strong style="color: green;">✓ ENDS WITH -series</strong>
                {{else}}
                    <span style="color: red;">✗ does not end with -series</span>
                {{/match}}
            </li>
        {{/foreach}}
        </ul>
    {{/get}}
</div>

This is what is displayed:

TEST 2: All tags with match helper “~$” “-series”

  • homeschooling-series (homeschooling-series) ✗ does not end with -series

  • making-kombucha-series (making-kombucha-series) ✗ does not end with -series

  • projects (projects) ✗ does not end with -series

I’ve tried matching on the name, slug, and tag values, but it never find the posts with the correct tag in it.

I think my logic might be getting mixed up somewhere, but I cant wrap my head around it.

Just for clarity I made sure I did actually have posts with the correct tag.

Ahha. That’s your problem. The ends with and starts with and contains helpers came later. You don’t have to upgrade all the way to 6.x to get them, but you need to bump up to somewhere in the ballpark of ~5.80-ish. (I might well be off by .10.)

Yup, that was it. I feel silly now. Thanks for that!
