  I noticed a new meta box “post_format” in edit media (photos et al). What does it mean? I tried Googling but found nothing

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

  I have a feeling you saw that on a WordPress.ORG blog. Here’s why:

  Post_format shows up here when you edit an image from the media library as well, but I don’t know that anyone yet knows what it is or does for sure. Perhaps not even the dev’s.

  @airodssey Funnily enough, I didn’t.

  @thesacredpath That is when I saw post_format! I’m pretty sure the developers know what it does.

  I am trying VideoPress. I saw it in the media library after uploading a video. Ditto – what’s it for?

  The developers most certainly know what it is, but they don’t show up in the forums.
