No "format" menu in the post editor

I’m talking about the box in this picture:

Between “publish” and “categories”
Thanks

Not all themes support custom post types.

Ok, but I’m not talking about theme but about administrator interface in the editor. Can this be connected to the theme? I suppose not. Than if the theme use it or not is another matter.
My problem is that that menu is not shown in the editor.

That menu only shows up if your theme has custom post types. What theme are you using?

The theme name is DiVi from ElegantThemes.

I don’t know anything about that theme (commercial themes are not freely available and not supported here), but try switching to twentythirteen theme (for example) – and that box should show up.

I’ll check, thankyou.
My point was that posting from an app for iphone that selection was available and is correctly shown in the list of post in the administrator editor when a different “format” is selected (with an icon).
The problem is that from the editor I cannot change that selection made using the iphone and the wordpress app.
Moreover in the settings you can still choose the “format” for the newly created post and if you choose a format different from “standard”, every post you create is of that type even if the theme do not supporti it, and then you cannot go back without that menu.
This is the reason why for me is strange that that menu is connected to a theme.

Well, that would have been useful info in your initial post :)! It may not be a theme issue. I’m not sure I understand the issue entirely – but can you try switching to a default theme to see if it persists?

I tried to change the theme and nothing change.
If you look at this picture:

Regardless of the theme used I don’t have the menu in the center right of the picture between “publish” and “categories” and I don’t understand why…

And this is on a regular browser?

Can you try deactivating all plugins as well as switching to twentythirteen theme?

I’m using Chrome.
I’ll try do to some test deactivating the plugins but consider that the site is new and I’ve very few of them.

WPyogi, was the theme! Plus another plugin I suppose. Playing with them now I’ve the menu.
Now:
1. I’ll not change my theme, I’ll simply not use the formats
2. Incredible that I can select the format from the iphone app and then I cannot change back from inside the editor..
3. Thanks for the help

Cheers

Hmm, yes, seems a bit odd indeed. Have you checked with Elegant Themes and tried another browser just in case?

Glad we at least identified what’s going on :)!

Change of the browser don’t change the problem. I’ve tried with explorer and firefox.
I opened a ticket to Elegant Themes support.
Thank again
