You can use locate_template() first. If this returns anything but an empty string ” then the template exists either in parent or child theme. if( ” === locate_template( ‘custom-single.php’ ) ) { // Replace given template with your template path. }
Have you flushed your permalinks? If not, visit your permalinks page in your dashboard, then, refresh the page you are trying to view. Let us know if that helps. Edit: Upon re-reading your question, actually, no – just because you create a single-post_type.php file does not mean WordPress will use that file with regards to … Read more
Got it. I had tried to use flush_rewrite_rules() on plugin activation/deactivation, as so: function creativeworks_activate() { // register taxonomies/post types here flush_rewrite_rules(); } function creativeworks_deactivate() { flush_rewrite_rules(); } register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘creativeworks_activate’ ); register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, ‘creativeworks_deactivate’ ); …but that didn’t seem to do anything. However, when I changed the site-wide permalink options arbitrarily and saved them, … Read more
I would tend not to go with wp_get_recent_posts or even get_posts for custom queries like this. By default, template tags like the_excerpt() is not available to these functions, and you have to make use of setup_postdata($post) to have access to these template tags. I would personally use WP_Query in a case like this which is … Read more
When you look at the source code, the tag template is loaded as follow in template hierarchy elseif ( is_tag() && $template = get_tag_template() ) : in wp-includes/template-loader.php get_tag_template() uses get_query_template() which uses locate_template() which loads the tag template according to hierarchy from the theme root folder So, moving your templates to a sub-folder will … Read more
You can use below code for translating strings: add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘translate_text’); add_filter(‘ngettext’, ‘translate_text’); function translate_text($translated) { $translated = str_ireplace(‘Choose an option’, ‘Select’, $translated); $translated = str_ireplace(‘Original Text’, ‘Your Replacment Text’, $translated); return $translated; } But I have no idea for translating complex contents. I know you don’t want to use plugins but as my research, we … Read more
You could filter the include paths returned by get_included_files by removing any files from the list that are not in your theme (and/or child theme) directory: function get_theme_includes() { $includedfiles = get_included_files(); // normalize theme paths for matching $styledir = str_replace(“\\”,”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”,get_stylesheet_directory()); $templatedir = str_replace(“\\”,”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”,get_template_directory()); $i = 0; // loop included files foreach ($includedfiles as $includedfile) … Read more
The conditional you use to output get_template_part(‘content’, ‘none’); is only triggered if there is no post in the main loop, for example, when a category has no posts in it: if (have_posts()){ while(have_posts()) { the_post(); // If the category has a post and we are on a category page, then show the posts get_template_part(‘content’, ‘archive’); … Read more
I don’t see any reason to redirect index.php. Let’s say you only have a Front Page, no blog or post types with archives. You would assign the Front Page in Settings -> Reading and WordPress will do the template redirect for you. At that point, nothing uses index.php and there’s no need to redirect it. … Read more
{type}_template is a filter inside the get_query_template function. That function is called by a series of functions called get_home_template, get_category_template and so on. It allows you to very specifically target templates. You can see it in action in template-loader.php, where the $tag_templates variable is defined, binding conditions like is_home, is_category and so on to the … Read more
