Post Formats in Thematic Child

    Following the format from this post, I’ve been testing post formats in a Thematic child theme and added this to functions.php:

    // Enable a few post formats
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'gallery', 'image', 'link') );

// Post formats function
function wpfolio_post_formats() {

    if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
     echo '<div class="gallery-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    } else if ( has_post_format( 'image' )) {
     echo '<div class="image-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    } else if ( has_post_format( 'link' )) {
     echo '<div class="link-format">';
        echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
    }
    ...
    else {
        echo the_content();
    }
}

add_action('thematic_post', 'wpfolio_post_formats');

    This works but is pretty limited – it seems I can’t style the post header and footer without adding more functions and filters with their own sets of conditions.

    With reference to this post I’ve tried to use the .format-image classes instead by adding them to the stylesheet and replacing my above classes with this:
    echo ‘<div id=”post-<?php post_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>’;

    No luck – the style disappears completely. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I think I narrowed this down to an issue with the post class. I did some echoing and saw that the post format selector (.format-image{}, etc.) appears as it should in post_class() but is not included in thematic_post_class(). I tried removing thematic_post_class() with childtheme_override_post_class() which seemed to work – echoing thematic_post_class() no longer returns anything. Here is the code:

    // remove thematic_post_class to include post format selector in post class
function childtheme_override_post_class() {
     remove_action('thematic_post_class','thematic_access', 9);
}
add_action('init', 'childtheme_override_post_class');

// echo post classes for format testing
function wpfolio_post_formats() {

     global $post;
     $post_id = $post->ID;

     $format = get_post_format( $post_id );

          if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
               echo '<h3>';
               echo $format . '<hr />';
               echo '<strong>thematic_post_class: </strong>';
               echo thematic_post_class();
               echo '<hr /> <strong>post_class: </strong>';
               echo post_class();
               echo '</h3>';
               echo the_content();
          } else if ( has_post_format( 'image' )) { ...
}

add_action('thematic_post', 'wpfolio_post_formats');

    Then I replaced the conditional’s content with something like this to see if the styles would work:

    if ( has_post_format( 'video' )) {
     echo '<div id="<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class() ?>';
     echo the_content();
     echo '</div>';
} else if { ...

    Nothing happens. I’m thinking thematic_post() may not be the right hook, but it did work with the code from my first post. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Solved. See this post: https://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-post-format-classes-to-thematics-body-classes#post-20728
