How can I limit the display to only 4 recent 'mustread' tagged blog posts?

Technical Q&A

Hello,

I am trying to show the latest 4 blog posts from 5 different blogs with the specific tag of ‘mustread’.

I can get it to show all the blog posts with that tag, but I want to limit the number shown to 4 and for it to show the most recent posts.

Here is my code:

{% assign blog_handles = "lives-igtv,actie-van-de-maand,nieuwe-producten,events,tips,videos" | split: "," %}
  {% for handle in blog_handles %}
    {% for article in blogs[handle].articles %} 
      {% if article.tags contains 'mustread' %} 
         
             
              
{{ article.image.src | img_url: 'medium' | img_tag: article.title }}
 
              {{ article.title }}
 
            
        

     {% endif %} 
  {% endfor %}

I tried this from another answer on the community:

{% assign blog_handles = "lives-igtv,actie-van-de-maand,nieuwe-producten,events,tips,videos" | split: "," %}
      {% for handle in blog_handles %}
      {% assign check = 1 %}
        {% for article in blogs[handle].articles %} 
          {% if article.tags contains 'mustread' and check < 4 %} 
          {% assign check = check | plus: 1 %}
             
                 
                  
{{ article.image.src | img_url: 'medium' | img_tag: article.title }}
 
                  {{ article.title }}
 
                
            

          {% endif %} 
        {% endfor %}
      {% endfor %}

But it shows again all the blog posts tagged with ‘mustread’ and not just 4.

Can someone help me with this?

Try out this code.

Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried it but it still shows 8 posts. Here is the amended code:

{% assign blog_handles = "lives-igtv,actie-van-de-maand,nieuwe-producten,events,tips,videos" | split: "," %}
      {% for handle in blog_handles %}
        {% for article in blogs[handle].articles limit:4 %} 
          {% if article.tags contains 'mustread' %} 
                 
                  
{{ article.image.src | img_url: 'medium' | img_tag: article.title }}
 
                  {{ article.title }}
 
                
          {% endif %} 
        {% endfor %}
      {% endfor %}
