    They absolutely did not remove post formats from WordPress core. Never happened.

    *Drinks coffee* ??

    What was done was that the new user interface that was being floated for that release was reconsidered and removed from the release. That announcement was to say “We thought about the new UI, ran into issues, thought and worked some more. After a lot of work and discussion it was determined that the new UI will not be in WordPress core.”

    Post formats are safe and are not going anywhere. ??

    I am writer of FirmaSite theme. I am supporting post formats since day 1. I am talking about some standard post meta data that we can safely use in our own UIs but i see WordPress is going to content block systems inside WYSIWYG rather then post formats.

    Pleased to meet you. That’s an interesting looking theme.

    I am talking about some standard post meta data that we can safely use in our own UIs but i see WordPress is going to content block systems inside WYSIWYG rather then post formats.

    Emphasis is mine.

    Where did you read that? That link that you posted earlier:

    Post Formats UI is exiting core, will live as a plugin

    That post says nothing like that at all. Honest.

    The Post Format UI was something brand new that was scheduled to be included in WordPress 3.6 or 3.7 (I forget which).

    i see WordPress is going to content block systems inside WYSIWYG rather then post formats.

    I myself am not aware of any changes like that and again, that’s not what that post says.

    That would be a HUGE change if that were enforced in core WordPress somehow and I’d like to think the support team would be aware of that.

    Basically WordPress trying to put different content types such as videos,images or shortcodes into the editor which is really good approach but i am not sure how post formats which looks abandoned is standing in future.

    Its just non-sense at the moment. There is no UI changes when selecting different post formats so users cant understand the usage.
