Post formats?

When you’re in the editing screen, check the right side of the screen, underneath the box that says “Publish”. There should be a box there with the title “Format”. If it’s not there, look at the top of the screen for a tab marked “Screen Options”. Click on that tab and make sure the “Format” checkbox is checked.

Thanks, Stephen. I see that “format” box on other themes, but it doesn’t show up with this particular theme. Nor does “screen options” provide a “format” checkbox.

It’s confusing because the theme has styling for different post types, so I wonder if this is an oversight.

Could be. You could add support for post formats yourself, though, if you made a child theme and put this in your child theme’s functions.php:

add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery', 'image', 'video', 'quote', 'link', 'status', 'audio', 'chat' ) );

Cool. Thanks. I will try that.

Works like a charm. Thank you, Stephen!

Also it helped me to solve the thumbnail problem by making me look for a solution in the right direction. ??
