Post Formats?
3 replies · Started by Dave on January 21, 2016
I was wondering if Generatepress supports any post formats (http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/post-formats/)?
And if not, is there a way we can add CSS to do so, and how they would look?
Thanks,
Dave
Hi Dave,
GP does support post formats.
Currently, the different between each format isn't massive, but if you add test posts for each you should be able to see the difference.
Standard is just a regular post.
Aside doesn't display a title or link to a post - it's just a quick thought.
Image/Video/Quote shows the full post with HTML.
Link takes the first link from the post and makes the post title link to that link.
Status only shows the text - no title or meta.
You can see some of them here: http://demo.generatepress.com/
Hi Tom,
Is there a way to assign a specific post format to a category with GP? I want to assign the 'link' type with a category called "Newsletters" (slug: newsletters), so as soon as that category is selected, it will know to set that format. My client will be taking over maintenance of the site once it's done and they are not very WP-savvy, so I'd like to make it as easy as possible.
Thanks!
Terry
Hi Terry,
I don't think this would be possible without a considerable amount of custom programming.
It might be worth asking over on http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ - someone might have an idea.
