# “Select Post Types” “Post Format”

 * Hello,
 * I wanted to ask if it is possible to access the “Post Format” in “Select Post
   Types”. I would like to filter out only the “Quote Post Formats” so that the 
   user only sees the quotes.
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi,
 * Post format is not a post type it is a taxonomy. So you can not select the post
   format in post type.
 * You can use the pre_get_posts hook to insert the post format taxonomy query for
   search results. This should work.
    If you need example, you need to tell me the
   post format slug for “Quote Post Formats”.
 * See [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_get_posts/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_get_posts/)
 * Thanks
