03 / Website use cases
Where to use post format label
When a blog mixes ordinary articles with videos, galleries and quotes, a small label helps readers see what kind of post they are opening. WordPress stores this as the post format, but Elementor has no widget to show it, and showing "Standard" on every ordinary post is noise. Post format label shows the format in the site language, only for special formats by default, and can link to all posts in that format.

Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.

Post format label plugin questions

Is it accessible?
