   I want to remove some post formats, and then add 'video' (in a child theme.) Codex says that if I call "add_theme_support() for post formats in a child theme it will override the existing list, not add to it." I did that by putting
   add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'gallery', 'quote', 'video' ) );
   in my child theme functions.php file, but nothing was overridden.

   So I made a function for it that works:

    	// Add support for a variety of post formats
   add_action ('after_setup_theme', 'mod_post_formats', 11);
   function mod_post_formats() {
   add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'gallery', 'quote', 'video' ) );
   }
   
   

   BUT: My question is, Is this the best and/or only way to override the post formats in a child theme? Codex didn't mention anything about making a function.

   Sorry if this seems clueless, but I don't fully understand the php, and I'm learning by trial and error.
