Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Post Formats for Block Themes
No, this plugin requires block themes with Full Site Editing. Classic themes use PHP templates incompatible with block patterns. This plugin requires block theme with theme.json, block templates in templates/ folder, and WordPress 6.9+. Consider migrating to a modern block theme like Twenty Twenty-Five.
Yes! Use Post Format Repair Tool (Tools → Post Format Repair) to scan existing posts and automatically detect appropriate formats based on content. Tool analyzes first block and suggests matching format. Review before applying repairs. Tool only changes format assignments—never modifies actual content.
Content remains safe: format assignments stay in database, pattern blocks remain as standard blocks, Chat Log blocks show as "unsupported block" (content preserved), no data lost. If you reactivate, all functionality returns immediately.
Yes, multiple ways: - Use filters in functions.php to modify pattern HTML - Register custom patterns to override defaults - Edit blocks after insertion (locked first block maintains consistency) - Use Global Styles to change colors, typography, spacing
No, 280-character limit is a soft suggestion, not a hard block. Shows real-time counter, visual warning when approaching limit, accessibility announcements, but you CAN publish longer status updates if needed.
Link format checks if the Bookmark Card plugin is installed. If active, uses bookmark-card blocks with rich previews, images, descriptions, automatic metadata fetching. If not installed, uses standard linked paragraphs. Both work perfectly—integration just enhances experience.
Yes! The Audio format integrates with the Podlove Podcasting Plugin for WordPress when installed. If Podlove is active, Audio format patterns can utilize Podlove's enhanced audio player and podcast metadata. Without Podlove, the plugin uses WordPress core audio blocks which work perfectly for standard audio content.
The Video and Audio formats integrate with Able Player when installed. Able Player provides an accessible HTML5 media player with captions, audio descriptions, interactive transcripts, and full keyboard support. When Able Player is active, format patterns can utilize its enhanced accessible playback features. Without Able Player, the plugin uses WordPress core media blocks.
You don't need a separate plugin! Post Formats for Block Themes includes integrated Chat Log block (chatlog/conversation). Chat format works out of the box, no additional plugins required. Just select Chat format and paste conversation transcripts from Slack, Discord, Teams, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram.
Absolutely! Use Format Switcher in post sidebar. Open post in block editor, find Format Switcher panel in right sidebar, click format dropdown, choose new format, decide to replace or keep content, click Switch Format. Format updates immediately.
