Change Post Format for Posts
Blog posts: Change post format
Loyde supports all standard WordPress post formats. But only two offer dedicated settings and additional features:
- Gallery
- Video
The additional features are placed inside metabox "Post Formats Additional Data", available in the post editor.
When archive listings display a post with non-standard post format, the corresponding media will be displayed (embedded video, or a gallery).
Video Post Format
Additional data which can be chosen:
- URL of the corresponding video: URL from an allowed video service (all video streaming services embeddable in WordPress, e.g. YouTube and Vimeo).
How/when the video URL is used:
- on the archive (listings) page, instead of featured image;
- in post content, if the content has been built with the page builder. This also relates to the blog post templates built using Loyde feature "blueprint templates". more about "blueprint templates" can be read here. To show the post format media, it's necessary to add "Single Post Field" (for blogs) or "CPT Custom Post Field" (for CPTs) "scp_postformat_video" value.
Gallery post Format
Additional data which can be chosen:
- Images (selecting one or more images from the Media section)
- Gallery Output Type: dropdown with options Grid, Masonry, List.
How/when the gallery is used:
- on the archive (listings) page, instead of the featured image;
- in post content, if the content has been built with the page builder. This also relates to the blog post templates built using Loyde feature "blueprint templates". more about "blueprint templates" can be read here. To show the post format media, it's necessary to add "Single Post Field" (for blogs) or "CPT Custom Post Field" (for CPTs), and choose "scp_postformat_images" value.
