Get post format

Question

I have loop and template for post

if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
                <?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/post', get_post_format() );?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php else :?>
    <?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );?>
<?php endif; ?>

and I want to use post format and add special html code for eash post format, so i add to my post template (post.php in template-parts):

<?php if ( get_post_format() == 'link' ) : ?>
   //code here
<?php endif;?>

but it doesnt work.

So is it possible to use get_post_format() function in post template file? Or how to check current post format inside post template file?

Answer 1

If you're outside the loop, pass a post ID.

$format = get_post_format( $post_id );

To guard against missing formats, add a default to your template:

$format = get_post_format() ? : 'standard';

Then you can use your same IF statement:

if ( $format == 'link' ) :
