  Does the new Independent Publisher 2 theme support post formats? I believe the first version, Independent Publisher, did.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!

  Publisher 2 does not seem to have the Post Format option. According to the support page about post format: “If your theme supports them, you’ll find a “Post Format” module in the right-hand column of your post editor.”

  Here’s a list of Themes Supporting Post Format, Independent Publisher is on it.

  Just to confirm, Independent Publisher 2 does not support post formats.

  You could select another theme that provides that feature. Go to https://wordpress.com/themes/ select free themes and and type post feature:microformats into the search box.

  re: switching themes
  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site, you to

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog. wp-admin/themes.php

  We have a preview function. No content is lost when switching themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. It does not matter if the site is private or public.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the username account that registered the site go to https://wordpress.com/themes and type in your key words, or the name of theme.

  You’re welcome.

  timethief – just to clarify, microformats are something different than post formats. Themes supporting post formats can be viewed via the list that Elizabeth linked to earlier. Post formats are used to distinguish posts containing different types of content – for example, image, gallery, video, and aside. Microformats include special bits of HTML for specific types of content, like recipes.

  @admcnamee,

  I believe the first version, Independent Publisher, did [have post format options].

  Though retired, the Independent Publisher theme is still available for sites created before it was retired, such as https://stayforcredits.wordpress.com/.
