Post Formats in Parabola Theme

  • When I uploaded this theme I noted that it said it supports various post formats. However I’ve tried creating posts with several different formats and from what I can tell, not one really changes in format or layout? Has anyone had success with using this theme’s post formats or do they not change in layout?

    Thanks.

  • Post formats do not change the page or post layout. I was confused and still not 100% understanding it.
    This post helped me understand a little.
    Especially this part.

    Once you’ve declared support to it, you’ll need to actually use it in your loop. There’s a simple conditional function to test the post format, the has_post_format() this is a simple example using it:

    if( has_post_format(‘image’)){
   the_post_thumbnail(‘large’);
   the_title();
}

    Here you’ll show a bigger thumbnail when you have an image post format. That is cool because when you use the image post format that’s what you’re looking for: to show your images.

    It’s still up to the theme author how they implement it.

    Custom post type are support and are displayed slightly different.
    See the theme demo.
