Rename Post Formats options

  • I use Post Formats to style posts. In my case I use ‘Chat’ and ‘Quote’. Where I use the ‘Chat’ format to indicate posts that are featured and the ‘Quote’ format to indicate posts that have a large title size.

    In the Classic Editor I had renamed them ‘Featured’ and ‘Typography’. This makes it easier for the editors/writers to know which one to choose for their posts. But I can’t get a script to rename them to work in the Block Editor.

    // Enable support for Post Formats.
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', [ 'chat', 'quote' ] );
add_post_type_support( 'post', 'post-formats' );

function custom_rename_block_editor_post_formats( $editor_settings ) {

// Define custom labels for post formats

$custom_formats = [

'Chat' => __( 'Featured', 'textdomain' ), 

'Quote' => __( 'Typografic', 'textdomain' ) 

];

// Modify post format labels in the block editor settings

if ( isset( $editor_settings['settings']['formats'] ) ) {

foreach ( $custom_formats as $format => $label ) {

if ( isset( $editor_settings['settings']['formats'][ $format ] ) ) {

$editor_settings['settings']['formats'][ $format ]['title'] = $label;

} } }

return $editor_settings;

}

add_filter( 'block_editor_settings_all', 'custom_rename_block_editor_post_formats' );

    This code does nothing. At the suggestions of others I also tried with gettext instead of textdomain. Which also did not work. I’m testing the code on a fresh WordPress 6.5.2 install with Twenty Twenty-Four (twentytwentyfour) theme.

    It seems I may be using the wrong filter? How do I get this code to work?

  • Please make sure to replace 'textdomain' with your actual theme or plugin text domain in your code.

    That did not fix the problem. I’m testing it on a clean WordPress install with the TwentyTwentyFour theme. I still get ‘Chat’ and ‘Quote’ in the Block Editor instead of the rename.

    // Enable support for Post Formats.

add_theme_support( 'post-formats', [ 'chat', 'quote' ] );

add_post_type_support( 'post', 'post-formats' );

function custom_rename_block_editor_post_formats( $editor_settings ) {

// Define custom labels for post formats

$custom_formats = [

'Chat' => __( 'Featured', 'twentytwentyfour' ),

'Quote' => __( 'Typografic', 'twentytwentyfour' )

];

// Modify post format labels in the block editor settings

if ( isset( $editor_settings['settings']['formats'] ) ) {

foreach ( $custom_formats as $format => $label ) {

if ( isset( $editor_settings['settings']['formats'][ $format ] ) ) {

$editor_settings['settings']['formats'][ $format ]['title'] = $label;

} } }

return $editor_settings;

}

add_filter( 'block_editor_settings_all', 'custom_rename_block_editor_post_formats' );
