Is it possible to manipulate the list of page templates?

The workhorse is WP_Theme::get_page_templates() (wrapped by the helper function get_page_templates()).

Template for specific post of custom post type

Overide get_template_part( ‘partials/post’, ‘sidebar’ ); with a plugin

TL;DR: Use a child theme instead 🙂 If we dig into the code for get_template_part(), there’s an action there – get_template_part_{$slug} – which we could hook into.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing in either of these functions that seems to be pluggable, so we can’t hook in … Read more

Create “File-less” Page Template in Functions.php

Pages are generally speaking rather inflexible, you would be better off using a custom post type.

Custom taxonomy query broken after upgrade to 4.4

I wouldn’t recommend using a taxonomy slug that coincides with the public query variables, like title. The title query variable was introduced in 4.4 so I think that could explain your problems. Check out this part of the WP_Query class: if ( ” !== $q[‘title’] ) { $where .= $wpdb->prepare( ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_title = %s”, … Read more

Custom Post Type Plugin: Where Do I Put The Template?

So what’s the best practice here? I would say a combination of letting the theme handle it and providing a default with your plugin. You can use the single_template filter to switch out the template.
