Overview

I was creating link posts on http://www.bilalakil.me’s Twenty Fourteen happily
until I was nonplussed by the doppelgängers that made themselves apparent
when I added the theme’s also-impressive Euphoria widget to the mix, displaying links.

I was seeing the same posts displayed twice on the front page:
once in the main post loop; and again in the Euphoria widget!

To solve this problem I decided to exclude posts with the link post format
from the post index page’s main query,
and thus this plugin was born.

The plugin’s settings sit neatly on the Settings > Reading page.

You can find this plugin at: https://bitbucket.org/bilalakil/formataway
