Post formats and template hierarchy

It is easy to make this work if your theme don’t support post formats

• Create a child theme

• add_theme_support for post formats

• Remove the loop from your template files and add replace it with get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );. Your template should look like this

  if ( have_posts() ) { // <- Not necessary in single.php
  
      while ( have_posts() ) {
          the_post();
  
          get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
  
      }
  
  }
  

• Everything else should go into a new file which should be called content.php

• Create a new file called content-image.php and add the loop in there and modify as needed

• When a post is assigned the image post format, content-image.php will be used inside single.php to display the image posts
