get_post_format_link

[mmjaeger]

get_post_format_link is supposed to return the archive link to the post-format - it works if a post-format is provided

now the question is how do I get/create a link that would show all posts that do NOT have a post type assigned or are set to standard?

 

thanks

Hello,

Someone may have a better explanation at the WordPress Support Forums, but I will give it a try;

The get_post_format_link() will only return an archive address if you have created a post with the specified format, else it will return false.  From some quick testing, I was not able to get an archive link for a standard, non-formatted post-- I was expecting that result.

If you want to display all posts-- excluding excluding post formats-- it would be wise to hook the 'pre_get_posts' action within the WordPress API and alter the query to exclude all post formats.

As a *shameless* plug, I have a plugin that does this for the homepage; Filter Post Formats.  This will allow excluding of post formats on the home page.  It could be extended for archive pages too.

I am currently unaware if a an archive page (display all posts like the home/blog page) exists.  Someone else may be able to shed some light on that subject.

I hope this helps or points you in the correct direction.
