Beskrivning
Better Post Formats is a free WordPress plugin that will allow you to use proper featured content instead of static featured images. Your website or blog will have content just as any premium WordPress theme. Now on the WordPress Playground.
You will be able to use:
- Any WordPress supported oEmbed site content for your audio post formats
- Any WordPress supported oEmbed site content for your video post formats
- Slider with multiple images for your gallery post formats
- Real links for link post formats
- Real quotations with author reference for your quote post formats
Better Post Formats works with any theme, classic or block:
- In classic themes featured content replaces the themes featured image output
- In block themes featured content replaces the core Post Featured Image block, in single templates and in query loops
- Featured content is set in the ”Featured Content” post sidebar panel, in both the block editor and the Classic editor
List of global options in the WordPress Customizer that will allow you to fine tune plugins appearance:
- Location, choose where you want to use plugin on the frontend of your website
- Content width on lists, set plugin content width on lists
- Content width on singles, set plugin content width on singles
- Skin, choose plugin content skin. Light skin goes well with dark content, dark skin goes well with light content, or choose ”None” to inherit your themes color scheme
You can check out Better Post Formats plugin demo here or you can test it on your own on WordPress Playground.

Vanliga frågor
-
Should I use Gutenberg or Classic editor?
-
Short answer – you can use both. Better Post Formats plugin works with both Gutenberg or Classic editor.
-
My current theme does not support post formats, can I use Better Post Formats plugin?
-
Yes of course, even if your theme does not support post formats, Better Post Formats plugin will add support for audio, video, gallery, link and quote post formats.
-
I use a block theme, where do I set featured content and where are the global options?
-
Featured content is set per post, in the ”Featured Content” panel in the post sidebar, exactly as with a classic theme. Only the four global options – location, content width on lists, content width on singles and skin – live in the WordPress Customizer, under Appearance > Customize > Better Post Formats. Block themes normally hide the Customizer, but WordPress keeps it available for plugins that register settings there, so the link stays in place while Better Post Formats is active.
-
How does the skin option work?
-
Skin is set globally, with a per post override. Gallery, link and quote featured content starts as ”Global from the customizer”, which follows Appearance > Customize > Better Post Formats > Skin, and choosing Light or Dark on the post itself overrides the global value for that post only. The global ”None” value renders no skin at all, so your themes own colors stay in place. Audio and video featured content carries no skin control and always uses your themes colors.
-
I have set featured content, can I switch theme?
-
Yes of course, plugin does not depend on themes, data related to plugin content is saved in database independently.
-
I have set featured content, but I can not see it on my website?
-
Please try to switch to any default WordPress theme (TwentyX). If content appears on your website, most likely your previous theme displays featured image in its own way, instead of using get_the_post_thumbnail WordPress function (classic themes) or the post featured image block (block themes).
