I’m using two loops. First loop is to show the page content, and the second loop is to show the queried post contents. I commented into the codes where necessary. I emphasized into the loops, as Deckster0 said in WordPress support that, the_content() works only inside a WordPress Loop. I’m placing these code into a … Read more
It’s the nature of the WordPress template hierarchy – point being, if you don’t have a page.php, it will use singular.php, same if you don’t have single.php, it will fallback to a template lower in the hierarchy. Ideal for themes that have the same layout for posts/pages, instead of having duplicate code in each respective … Read more
Overriding that template would be much easier than getting rid of it. Just the way logic goes. I make no claim it’s efficient idea (late here), but this would get it nuked from edit screen: add_action(‘admin_head-post.php’,’remove_template’); function remove_template() { global $wp_themes; get_themes(); $templates = &$wp_themes[‘Twenty Ten’][‘Template Files’]; $template = trailingslashit( TEMPLATEPATH ).’onecolumn-page.php’; $key = array_search($template, … Read more
Hm, if you registered a taxonomy for the “page” object type correctly and then assigned a term of that taxonomy to a page… I believe you can then access the taxonomy and term slugs in the following way: get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ) get_query_var( ‘term’ ) If you print_r($wp_query) you will see all the parameters that are … Read more
You can just look at url, load the file and exit. That can be done when WordPress loaded its environment, e.g. on ‘init’. add_action(‘init’, function() { $url_path = trim(parse_url(add_query_arg(array()), PHP_URL_PATH), “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); if ( $url_path === ‘retail’ ) { // load the file if exists $load = locate_template(‘template-retail.php’, true); if ($load) { exit(); // just exit … Read more
Please check the parameter ‘parent’. It seems there is a space after the name.
Just in WordPress 4.9 there’s this bug: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/42573 causing the template files to only be rescanned once every hour. To fix (until they release a new WP version with this changed), download the patch on that bug ticket and make the changes from the patch to wp-includes/class-wp-theme.php. Hope this saves someone the 2 hours I … Read more
get_page_template() can be overridden via the page_template filter. If your plugin is a directory with the templates as files in them, it’s just a matter of passing the names of these files. If you want to create them “on the fly” (edit them in the admin area and save them in the database?), you might … Read more
