Custom template not working for existing pages [closed]
as a solution, you can fully automate the selection of a template for a group of pages using slug names: add_filter(‘request’, function( $vars ) { $slug = explode(“https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”, explode(‘?’, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’])[0]); array_pop ($slug); $temp_base = “…first_part_template_name…”; $temp_slug = array_pop ($slug); if (file_exists(get_template_directory().”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”.$template.’-‘.$temp_cat.’.php’)) { get_template_part( $temp_base, $temp_slug ); } }
