Post Format Detecting Loop

wp-format-loop.md

Use Details

You'll want to start by creating a file ```/content/loop.php`` - will be your default or "standard" format loop. For additional post format support, you'll need to add a loop file to match. For example, if your theme supports the post formats 'aside', 'video', and 'audio' then you should have:

• /content/loop.php : Standard/Default View
• /content/loop-aside.php : View for Aside Post Format
• /content/loop-video.php : View for Video Post Format
• /content/loop-audio.php : View for Audio Post Format

As you cycle through your loop, the correct template part will be rendered for each post format.

<?php

if ( have_posts() ) : 

	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

	## Asign variable to post format. We'll use this to avoid if statements.
	$format = get_post_format();

	## If format is false, set it to 'standard' instead. This assures that the loop will
	## Always be displayed regardless of post format settings. 
	if ( false === $format ) { $format = 'standard'; }

	## Use our format variable to choose a loop
	get_template_part( "content/loop-$format" );

	## Now do this once we've displayed our posts.
	## Page navigation etc.
	endwhile;
	
	## Wait, we didn't find anything.
	## No posts found 
	else:

endif;
