Victor! I must thank you again, I think you lead me to the right answer.

I commented the IF clause, and the brackets of the ELSE clause, causing the "add_actions" to run every time, no matter what. That seemed to not break my blog, and it also enabled all the titles (et al) on the video post format post.

I cleaned it up and commented the poop out of it so I remember what changes I made.

You probably know more than I... are changes to the themes functions.php file permanent? Am I going to lose all these next time I updated wordpress?

Final function:

function mindstream_remove_elements() {

/*** EDIT 9/26 - this section removes post title (et al) from non default post formats
 *** It was commented out to disable the removal of these attributes. BUT, the "else"
 *** clause is what enables them for all posts. A copy of the contents of the "else" clause
 *** has been added below. To revert, delete the three "add_actions" immediately after this
 *** comment block, and uncomment this block
 ***
        // Remove if post has format
        if ( get_post_format() ) {
                remove_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
                remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
                remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
        }
        // Add back, as post has no format
        else {
                add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
                add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
                add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
        }

 *** THE "add_action" lines below were duplicated from the "else" clause above
*/
        add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
        add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
        add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

}

Victor! Thank you so much for doing this, I really appreciate your help!

I'm afraid that didn't quite work though. When I commented out that line, I got this error when loading the blog:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/practi59/public_html/wp-content/themes/mindstream/functions.php on line 56

I had to rollback.

Line 56 is the closing bracket of the mindstream_remove_elements function:

function mindstream_remove_elements() {

    // Remove if post has format
    if ( get_post_format() ) {
        remove_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
        remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
        remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
    }
    // Add back, as post has no format
    else {
        add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
        add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
        add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
    }

}   <--- this is line 56

I'm beginning to think the removal of line 33 prevented the "add_action" calls in the "else" clause in the function before to not run, and that is what caused the error... hrmmm..

[erh]

It was added from the beginning when I downloaded / applied the theme. I did not do anything special to "enable" the formats.

I did find this in my themes/mindstream/functions.php file:

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

Is that relevant?

Hi Christoph, thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that one, and it didn't allow multiple testimonial 'groups', just one slider with all the testimonials. Which won't work if I want to keep each products' testimonials separate.

Got any others in mind?

Also:

-Must have navigation buttons to forward through to next quote, or click back to a certain quote.

Brilliant, that did it perfectly. Thanks BradDalton!

Here is the code I used if anyone else comes across this from a search. I added it to my functions.php through this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-actions-and-filters/

function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-17' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

(17 was the ID of the category I wanted excluded).

[erh]

The link no longer works. I could use a feature like this. Anyone know if this is possible? Although, I'm using the Mindstream theme.

[erh]

Bump. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

I found the folder where the "post format" images are located, and can easily change the icon to look like what I need it. But I'm still not sure how to customize what gets displayed on the blog page (title, comments, categories, etc).
