Finally got them working thanks to <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/12420/post-format-selector-in-thematic-child-theme-post-class/15067#15067">my post on WPAnswers</a> - I hope this helps anyone who is having the same/similar issues!</p> <p>In sum, it seems that the Thematic body class does not include the <code>.format-$format</code> selectors even when post formats have been enabled. I tried <code>child_theme_override_post_class()</code> to remove <code>thematic_post_class</code> but to no avail - although the <code>post_class</code> echoed instead of <code>thematic_post_class</code> and did contain the <code>.format</code> class, the style in the selectors was not read. So, the selector had to be manually added to <code>post_class</code> in <code>functions.php</code> like this:</p> <pre><code>function my_thematic_post_format_class( $classes = array() ) { $format = get_post_format(); if ( &#39;&#39; == $format ) $format = &#39;standard&#39;; $classes[] = &#39;format-&#39; . $format; return $classes; } add_filter( &#39;post_class&#39;, &#39;my_thematic_post_format_class&#39; );</code></pre> <p>From what I gathered, Twenty-Ten does it something like this which did not work for me:</p> <pre><code>function my_add_format_support() { add_theme_support( &#39;post-formats&#39;, array( &#39;aside&#39;, &#39;gallery&#39;, &#39;link&#39;, &#39;image&#39;) ); } add_action(&#39;after_setup_theme&#39;, &#39;my_add_format_support&#39;, 11);</code></pre> <p>Perhaps the <code>.format</code> class should be added to <code>thematic_post_class</code>? And @anyone more experienced than me, is there a better way to do this? </p>
