I also tried as below code in component recent-blog-posts
<#assign url = http.request.url />
<#assign parts = url?split("/") />
<#assign category = parts[(parts?size)-1] />
Hello category ${category}
You can see result at
https://communitystg.digi.com.my/t5/Blog/bg-p/11112222
Hello category = recent-blog-posts?render_behavior=raw&page=1
It should be Hello category = 11112222
Could you please advise how to retrieve 11112222?
Thanks

1. Add below line in a custom component https://prnt.sc/j14dzs
<#assign Blog_id = coreNode.id />
Blog id = ${Blog_id}2. Add the component on blog page https://prnt.sc/j14ehe
3. Check the value on the blog page https://prnt.sc/j14df3

kiettuongwork there are several things you can try, I would do it as follows:
<#-- assuming URL: https://communitystg.digi.com.my/t5/Blog/bg-p/11112222 with the goal to extract the number at the end, e.g. 11112222 --> <#assign url = http.request.url /> <#-- first split away any URL parameters, that's the stuff after a question mark "?" what you seem to want is a url-path element, basically what we want is everything before a possible question mark --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first /> <#-- we then split that first part at every slash "/" --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/") /> <#-- and eventually select just the last bit of that sequence to get what you want --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/")?last /> <#-- of course you do not need to do that assignment 3 times, once is enough, e.g. like this: --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/")?last /> ${urlparts}
hope it helps!
PS: The link to your stage instance of Lithium is blocked by .htaccess, therefore nobody can see your demo-links

I have tried them but could not work. You may need review my previous comments to see

What did not work, you need to provide more information if you want help...this is not your official Lithium support...we cannot see what you are doing, therefore you need to be a bit more detailed in the description of your issues...
if I go to try.freemarker.org
and enter this in the template field:
<#assign url = "https://communitystg.digi.com.my/t5/Blog/bg-p/11112222" /> <#-- first split away any URL parameters, that's the stuff after a question mark "?" what you seem to want is a url-path element, basically what we want is everything before a possible question mark --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first /> <#-- we then split that first part at every slash "/" --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/") /> <#-- and eventually select just the last bit of that sequence to get what you want --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/")?last /> <#-- of course you do not need to do that assignment 3 times, once is enough, e.g. like this: --> <#assign urlparts = url?split("?")?first?split("/")?last /> ${urlparts}
it works perfectly, outputting "11112222"...so if that's not what you want, then you have to be more specific.
