[Resolved] Do ‘post formats’ work with custom post types?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to know if post formats work with custom post types.

Solution: You can turn post formats on or off in the post type editor screen, but whether or not they work as expected is heavily influenced by the theme.

Hi, do Post Format work with toolset custom post types?

Currently we use the default wordpress Posts for our News and Blogs, we are now separating these and have creating a new custom post type for blogs.

WIll post Format Gallery/Quote etc. work with the new custom post type? (image attached)

You can activate Post Formats for any custom post type in the Post Type editor, but whether or not they are displayed correctly is heavily reliant on your theme. Twenty Nineteen doesn't support Post Formats, so the Block Editor doesn't even show the post formats select field for the native Post type. In general, separate post types or separate Content Templates could handle this distinction.
