Jekyll paginate

Question

I am trying to paginate a list of blog posts in jekyll, but cant seem to get it working. Here's my setup I have a blog directory under my root directory which has a index.md. I have used the following code from the jekyll website

<ul>
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
<li><h1><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h1></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

I have the following in my _config.yml

paginate: 10

nothing get's displayed. Any suggestions as to where I am messing up?

Update - Dir structure

$ls
_config.yml _layouts    _site       css     index.html
_includes   _posts

$ cd blog
$ ls
index.md

Also make sure your [post filenames](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#the-posts-folder) follow the `YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP` convention. — Ross Allen, Mar 20 '15 at 21:21
Did you add a paginate path in your config? `paginate_path: "/blog/page:num/"` — Ross Allen, Mar 20 '15 at 21:34
`paginate_path` is mentioned in docs on enabling pagination: http://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/#enable-pagination — Ross Allen, Mar 20 '15 at 21:35
Send your code to github. Give us the repository url and we'll give you a good answer in five minutes. — David Jacquel, Mar 20 '15 at 21:58
I feel it might be due to the dir structure I have setup.. here is what I have `$ ls` `_config.yml _layouts _site css index.html` `_includes _posts blog img js` The ` index.html ` is a landing page, under the blog dir I have a index.md where I am trying to paginate the list of blog post (just a list not display or preview) — K3rn3l5, Mar 20 '15 at 22:20

Simple solution: As written in the jekyll docs you have to provide a index.html (even blog.html won't work).

So simply change your blog/index.md to blog/index.html and having paginate_path: "/blog/page:num/" and paginate: 10 set in your _config.yml you are fine.

Cheers...
