Screenshots

The screens Post Formats for Block Themes adds to WordPress. Every screenshot has a text equivalent in the page that documents the task, so you never need the image to follow the instructions.

Screenshots come from the repeatable capture script (npm run screenshots:docs, which runs against a disposable WordPress Playground with a block theme active) and from assets shipped in the repository.

Editor

Format selection modal on a new post showing post format cards with icons and descriptions

The format selection modal on a new post: pick one of the ten formats, each with an icon and description. See Getting started.

Chat Log block in the editor with a pasted transcript, detected platform, and display settings in the sidebar

The Chat Log block after pasting a transcript — the platform is detected and display settings live in the sidebar. See Common tasks.

Quote post in the editor with a pullquote, attribution, and the Format set to Quote in the sidebar

A quote post: the locked pullquote pattern with attribution, and the format set in the sidebar. See Common tasks.

Status format post in the editor showing the remaining-characters counter below the text

A status post with the remaining-characters counter under the text field. See Common tasks.

Gallery format pattern in the editor with a locked gallery block in a responsive grid

The gallery pattern keeps the first block structure intact.

Format popover open in the editor sidebar listing all ten formats with Gallery selected

Change a post’s format without leaving the editor: the Format control in the Summary panel lists all ten formats. See Common tasks.

Quote post in the editor whose Format was set to Quote automatically, shown in the Summary panel

Auto-detection applied the Quote format to this draft on its first save — it runs once, silently, and never overrides a choice you make yourself. See Settings.

Front end

Published chat log on the frontend showing avatars, usernames, timestamps, and bubble-style messages

A published chat post rendered in the bubbles style with avatars, usernames, and timestamps.

The Format Badge labels each post’s format for readers.

Admin screens

Icon set picker on the Post Formats settings page with hand-drawn and filled silhouette options

Settings → Post Formats: choose the icon set used across badges and icons. See Settings.

Post Format Repair tool showing scan results with all posts correctly formatted and no mismatches

Tools → Post Format Repair: scan for posts whose format doesn’t match their content, then fix them in bulk. See Settings.

Post Format Templates page with the opt-in checkbox and the list of single and archive templates

Tools → Post Format Templates: opt in to the plugin’s 18 single and archive templates. See Settings.

All screens on this page are captured; there is no outstanding manual list. Two earlier specifications described UI the plugin does not have — a custom Format Switcher panel with an auto-detection status readout, and an auto-detection suggestion notice. The shots above show what actually ships instead: core’s Format control in the Summary panel is the mid-edit switcher, and auto-detection applies a format silently on first save (apply-once, never overriding a manual choice). If those custom UIs ever ship, add their shots to scripts/capture-docs-screenshots.js so they regenerate with the rest.
