Retrieve the format slug for a post

Parameters

$postint|WP_Post|nulloptional

Post ID or post object. Defaults to the current post in the loop.

Default:null

Return

More Information

This will usually be called in the the loop, but can be used anywhere if a post ID is provided.

The set of currently defined formats are:

• aside
• chat
• gallery
• link
• image
• quote
• status
• video
• audio

Note also that the default format (i.e., a normal post) returns false, but this is also referred in some places as the ‘standard’ format. In some cases, developers may wish to do something like the following to maintain consistency:

$format = get_post_format() ? : 'standard';

Source

function get_post_format( $post = null ) {
	$post = get_post( $post );

	if ( ! $post ) {
		return false;
	}

	if ( ! post_type_supports( $post->post_type, 'post-formats' ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$_format = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'post_format' );

	if ( empty( $_format ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$format = reset( $_format );

	return str_replace( 'post-format-', '', $format->slug );
}
