How to Link to all posts that have the Standard Post Format

3 comments

1. Put this in your function.php

   function akv3_query_format_standard($query) {
       if (isset($query->query_vars['post_format']) &&
           $query->query_vars['post_format'] == 'post-format-standard') {
           if (($post_formats = get_theme_support('post-formats')) &&
               is_array($post_formats[0]) && count($post_formats[0])) {
               $terms = array();
               foreach ($post_formats[0] as $format) {
                   $terms[] = 'post-format-'.$format;
               }
               $query->is_tax = null;
               unset($query->query_vars['post_format']);
               unset($query->query_vars['taxonomy']);
               unset($query->query_vars['term']);
               unset($query->query['post_format']);
               $query->set('tax_query', array(
                   'relation' => 'AND',
                   array(
                       'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
                       'terms' => $terms,
                       'field' => 'slug',
                       'operator' => 'NOT IN'
                   )
               ));
           }
       }
   }
   add_action('pre_get_posts', 'akv3_query_format_standard');

2. <?php
   $args = array(
   'showposts' => 9,
   'tax_query' => array(
           array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
                 'field' => 'slug',
                 'terms' => array('post-format-video','post-format-quote'),
                 'operator' => 'NOT IN'
                 )
           )
   );
   query_posts( $args );
   while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <?php the_title(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

3. When you assign a non-Standard post format to a post, a record gets added to the wp_term_relationships table. This record contains your post number and the term_taxonomy_id, which joins via wp_term_relationships to the post format in wp_terms. When you assign a Standard post format to a post, no record for post format is added to wp_term_relationships. If it was previously assigned another post format and changed to Standard, the record is removed from wp_term_relationships. Unfortunately, get_post_format_link relies on having that record in wp_term_relationships, so won’t work with Standard post format.

   For example, when I changed a post’s post format to image, a record was added to wp_term_relationships, which eventually pointed to wp_terms >> post-format-image. When I changed the post’s post format to Standard, this record disappeared. In WP’s codebase, get_post_format_link uses get_term_by(‘slug’, ‘post-format-‘ . $format, ‘post_format’ ), and with the missing related post format record for Standard, we all lose. 😀

   This might answer your original question of why it doesn’t work. I wish that I could offer a slick solution, especially given your immensely helpful WordPress posts!
