I thought I would provide you with another approach. It is also a bit hackish, but it is general purpose and allows you to simply register the filename and label that you want to use, like so: if ( class_exists( ‘WPSE_196995_Page_Templates’ ) ) { WPSE_196995_Page_Templates::register_page_template( ‘My Page Template’, ‘my-page-template.php’ ); } You could add the … Read more
WordPress core (as expressed by involved people on multiple occasions) strongly discourages sort by terms. It sees terms as exclusively grouping mechanism, with no ordering capabilities implied. So in your specific case WP would understand that there are different directors, that there are groups of shows done by those directors, but won’t at all understand … Read more
This is the technique I’m using on a site right now. It involves registering a query var for “template”, and registering an endpoint called /contact, which rewrites internally to ?template=contact.

From your question, it seems you’re trying to override the single template of a custom post type. If so, the filter you want to use is single_template and not page_template: function single_page_template($single_template) { global $post; if ($post->post_type == ‘dwqa-question’) { $single_template = get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/page-question.php’; } return $single_template; } add_filter( ‘single_template’, ‘single_page_template’ ); I once … Read more
Lets break it down step by step: if ($query->is_search && is_page_template(‘search’)) { There are 3 problems here is_page_template search.php isn’t a page template, that’s not how the search template is loaded. So this won’t work. But if it did work, there’s a new problem. Functions such as is_page_template etc rely on the main query, but … Read more
