I noticed that there are only two post formats available.
How do I bring back the “Link” post format. The objective is to add many posts that only have a title, and which the title would be a link.

Hello,

Sorry but our theme has only the 2 post formats. You cannot use any others by default you will need code modifications in order to implement additional post formats.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution we can provide for the link post format. You will have to hire a freelancer to help out with the code.

Thanks

I don’t have any problems coding my own solution, but your theme doesn’t follow the WordPress codex for registering post formats:

Themes need to use add_theme_support() in the functions.php file to tell WordPress which post formats to support by passing an array of formats like so:
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery' ) );

Where are you defining the video post format? Plus, it’s not like this is all a custom solution, these post formats are built into WordPress by default.

Hi,

That is defined in the theme in this file

If you want to make modifications to the post formats, make them there. I believe this was a decision made when the theme was created, there must have been a reason for it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks
