    I like the idea https://www.theverge.com/ has were they mix in short posts with longer posts.

    The short posts would contain just a video, tweet or short text.

    I am trying to think how best to do this in GP.

    Does GP support the WordPress post formats? https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/post-formats/ ticking them in the admin area does not seem to do anything.

    Or should I create new custom posts to do this?

    So for example I would like to create a post to show a tweet on the homepage without it needing a featured image. Users could still click on it to comment.

    I am probably really over complication this but just thought I would ask in case you have seen other sites do this.

    Thanks

    PS: Have a good Christmas.

    Hi there,

    you can use Post Formats, although for things like video they require the full content to be displayed instead of the excerpt ( as excerpts won’t output the necessary HTML ). Does that work ?

    Merry Christmas 🙂
