# “Post format” for submitted posts

 * Thank you for a plugin that is quite easy to use! Although complex in its workings…
 * I managed to set the plugin up quickly on my site, but ran into a problem: I 
   need the “Post format” to be automatically set to “Image”, not “Standard”. Is
   that something I can achieve with the free version?
   PS. I have set the “Default
   Post Format” in WordPress “Writing Settings” under to “Image”, but that doesn’t
   help with USP.

 * Glad to help.
 * It’s not a built-in feature, but possible w/ the following code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function usp_set_post_format($post) {
   
       	$id = isset($post['id']) ? $post['id'] : null;
   
       	if ($id) set_post_format($id, 'YOUR_POST_FORMAT');
   
       }
       add_action('usp_insert_after', 'usp_set_post_format');
       ```
   
 * Replace `YOUR_POST_FORMAT` with the name of the post format that you want to 
   use. This code can be added to your theme functions.php or added via simple custom
   plugin. Here is a guide that explains more about [adding custom code to WordPress](https://digwp.com/2022/12/custom-code-wordpress/).
   Let me know if any questions.
