Post Formats Not available -> Should They?

    Okay, so I’ve determined what is causing post formats on my blogs to not show up, but now I’m hoping to find out if this is an intentional by design or a bug.

    I’m using Standard theme on a few blogs. After upgrading to 3.1 I wanted to check to dictate the post format for each post so I could customize against it later. The option to determine post format is non-existent while I have Standard Theme loaded, but if I load the TwentyTen included in 3.1 the option to dictate what post format is available.

    So, even if a Theme isn’t designed to leverage the Post Formats, should the option still be available to determine? I’d rather mark the choice now instead of backtracking later on when my preferred theme adds the functionality to utilize it.

  • You have to actually activate post formats

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Formats

    in functions.php, declaring which ones to support

    example:

    // REGISTERS THE POST FORMATS
add_theme_support('post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'audio', 'quote' ));

    theaccordance, you have to modify your functions.php in your Child Theme (or Parent Theme if your Child Theme does not have such file)

    Past the code:

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

    Voilà!
