Remove specific post formats in a child theme

Here is a small tip to let you disable some post formats within your child theme.
The hook must be attached to the after_setup_theme event.

At first I used the init event but it is not a good practice because it overrides every potential clean function which may used this hook without considering priority.

The init event is not the “magical” solution, it is the slacker’ one :p

function bweb_remove_post_formats() {
	add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'link', 'audio', 'status' ) );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'bweb_remove_post_formats', 11 );

Note that the hook priority is set to 11, it is the lowest you can use to make this hook works properly.

As a reminder, here is the default supported post formats :

• default (obviously, it can’t be disable)
• aside
• gallery
• link
• image
• quote
• status
• video
• audio
• chat

If you want to disable all the list at once, simpy use remove_theme_support(‘post-formats’)
