So in this busy day I took some time to edit my WordPress website for new feature. I did some thing new (at least for me) with some post formats, and I'm going to share it here on BWidgets. So as a part of that tutorial, here's the basic thing to learn before I post that article, which is adding post format support to your WordPress theme.
Post Formats is a theme feature introduced with the WordPress 3.1 release. It's piece of meta info that can be used by a theme to customize its post structure. If you ever used Tumblr, then you'll love this feature.
As of now, WordPress supports following post formats:
- aside: Typically styled without a title. Similar to a Facebook note update.
- gallery: An image gallery. This type of post will likely contain an image gallery using shortcode and plugins.
- link: A link to an external webpage.
- image: A single image. Yeah, just a single image.
- quote: A quatation. My favorite quote is: Your arms are just too short to box with the God. - CM Punk to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
- status: A short status update, similar to a tweet.
- video: A single video or several videos. You can upload or embed a video to the post.
- audio: An audeo file, likely if you run a Podcast.
- chat: A chat transcript.
Add following snippet to your theme's functions.php file to add post format support to your post:
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'chat','gallery','image','link', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio' ) );
You can also add post format support to Page and custom post types:
// add post-formats to post_type 'page'
add_post_type_support( 'page', 'post-formats' );
// add post-formats to post_type 'my_custom_post_type'
add_post_type_support( 'my_custom_post_type', 'post-formats' );
