In opposite to get_post_format
, the conditional has_post_format()
function returns a boolean value and should be the perfect function for a conditional check like:
if ( has_post_format( array( 'gallery', 'image' ) ) {
// I'm a gallery or image format post; do something
}
(see this answer)
Unfortunately, has_post_format()
is not sufficient to check for the standard post format. So how would I achieve something like:
if ( has_post_format( 'standard' ) {
// I'm a standard format post
}
To do that, one needs to go back to get_post_format()
as the Codex page explains:
$format = get_post_format();
if ( false === $format )
$format="standard";
So in order to check if a post is in standard format, I can use this shortcut:
if ( false == get_post_format() ) {
// I'm a standard format post
}
/* or */
if ( ! get_post_format() ) {
// I'm a standard format post
}
Or reverse the scheme to check if a post is just not in standard format:
if ( false !== get_post_format() ) {
// I'm everything but a standard format post
}
/* or */
if ( get_post_format() ) {
// I'm everything but a standard format post
}
