I try to get all articles in my different category folders from my news-page.

My folder structure looks like this :

```auto
1_news
   0_category
      0_architecture
          20190101_article-1
          20190102_article-2
      0_design
          20190103_article-3
          20190104_article-4

```

I’ve tried to get the news folder and then the category folder and the child-folders

```auto
$news = $site->find('news');
$category = $news->find('category')->children()->listed()->flip();

```

…but without luck.

Your using Kirby 3 but Please set the correct topic on the thread. I’m not sure how you have ended up with leading zeros either, did you create those manually? The numbering starts from 1 usually. Maybe thats the issue.

Sounds like you basically want the tree menu … [see here](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/navigation/menus#tree-menu)

I’ve created those manually for alphabetical sorting.

You could do `var_dump($category)` to see what’s in it.

Thanks that helped.

I’ve came up with a simpler solutions.

```auto
# collections/news.php
return function ($site) {
   return $site->index()->filterBy('template', 'article');
};

```

It seems that you can get all pages using the same template wich makes it much easier to access the same kind of pages stored in different folders.
