Post Formats with Wintersong Pro Theme

[Cecily]

Hello,

I used the Genesis snippet to enable Post Formats in the Wintersong Pro theme. The posts show up just fine when I'm logged in to my WordPress dashboard, but anyone who is logged out doesn't see the post. I also don't see the post format images, even though I added the code to functions.php and added the images to the child theme's images directory.

Does anyone know why the function would show up only when I'm logged in? Thanks for any suggestions.

First of all to have the post appear, you need to be sure this is added to your functions.php; I added to the very bottom.

//* Add support for post formats
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array(
	'aside',
	'audio',
	'chat',
	'gallery',
	'image',
	'link',
	'quote',
	'status',
	'video'
) );

//* Add support for post format images
add_theme_support( 'genesis-post-format-images' );

Next when you download the post format icons, the folder name needs to be changed. The folder should be named "post-formats", and not "post-format-icons" per the .zip file.
So if you use FTP to upload the icons, it should look like this:
/wp-content/themes/wintersong-pro/images/post-formats/

Then you will see the posts and the icons will be just above the post title.
Note that you will need to add CSS to position the icons where you want them.

Thanks for this, Marcy. I'd added theme support to functions.php before using the snippets, but it just wouldn't show up. Now it seems to be working, although I didn't do anything different. I appreciate the help!
