Automatic Post Format Based On Post Type

    I’m having some slight difficulty in finding support on this. Basically here is my setup, I used “FeedWordPress” to generate post automatically from Atom Feeds and post them into custom Post Types.

    Video Feed = “video_feed” Post Type -> Styled with “Video” Post Format
    Image Feed = “image_feed” Post Type -> Styled with “Image” Post Format
    Status Feed = “status_feed” Post Type -> Styled with “Status” Post Format

    So on and so forth.

    Now the question I have, is there a way to assign a post format to automatically be selected by the post within its Post Type to be used when it is automatically published with FeedWordPress. (Which automatically chooses the “Standard” post format) Currently I have to tell FeedWordPress to hold all post as “Pending” so that I can manually set the Post Format, which of course hinders the In Real Time style I am trying to achieve.

    Your question is a bit confusing, because “Post Type” and “Post Format” are not interchangeable.

    Note that “Post Type” refers to the content type, of which “Post” is one type (also, “Page”, “Attachment”, etc.). Further, note that “Post Format” is a taxonomy that applies only to the “Post” Post-Type.

    Now, if I’m understanding your question correctly: you want to be able to assign a Post Format from FeedWordPress? If so, then you’re in the wrong forum. You need to ask your question in the Plugins forum. Specifically, you should as in the FeedWordPress Plugin support forum.

    My apologies, I managed to get what I was looking for by applying a different method to retrive post for the Loop via Post Type’s directly rather then trying to style them with Post Format’s.

    At any rate, thank you.
