    Just upgraded to 4.6…

    How do I set the Type (photo, normal, aside, etc) for a new post?

    There used to be a selector on the editor page, but it’s not there anymore.

    You mean the post format? That’s a theme-specific thing. What theme are you using?

    it’s called “Red Christmas”.

    yeah, post format.

    that’s a theme-specific thing? i didn’t know themes could affect the back-end.

    i did recently switch to this theme, so maybe that’s what’s happening.

    Post formats haven’t had much traction. I think they just confused people and not many authors implemented them.

    yep. that was it. thanks!

    i got it working. added :

    add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array(
    		'aside'
    	) );

    to the theme’s setup and now it’s working like i want.

    i’ve tweaked things so that ‘aside’ posts only show in a custom side-bar widget. i use it for posting links that i want to share but don’t really have any comment on.
