Custom Post Formats

Passenger supports some of the available Post Formats, and styles each differently on the blog, archive, and search pages. Using the different formats will visually distinguish your types of content.

Standard — The default blog post format displays the content as a news article, with an optional featured image positioned on the left.
Image — The image post format displays a large featured image and the post title. Posts with the image format need a featured image assigned to display properly.
Video — The video post format will display your video and the post title. It supports YouTube, Vimeo, and hosted videos; and the theme will automatically display the first video that’s added to the post content.
Gallery — Gallery posts will display a gallery of images from the gallery you’ve added to the post content.
Quote — The quote post format will highlight the first blockquote found in your blog post. If there’s no blockquote, then it will display the entire blog post.

Sidebars

Passenger has 2 optional sidebars. They will only display if they contain widgets.

Footer Widgets - this displays in the footer and uses javascript to intelligently position the widgets to make sure they fit together nicely.
Overlay Widgets - this is an optional sidebar that will display in a page overlay, accessed from the menu button next to the site title.

Custom Templates

Passenger has a contributor custom page template. This template lists all of the contributors to your website sorted based on how many posts each person has published. Great for magazines and other multi-author blogs.
