Custom Page Templates in a WordPress Plugin

/ Published in: PHP

This allows you to create a custom page template in your plugin. Say your plugin creates a custom post type and you want to override the standard archives page template to display your custom post type in a special way. You could achieve this by creating a custom template for your post type and using this code to display that template when appropriate.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

add_filter( 'page_template', 'wpa3396_page_template' );
function wpa3396_page_template( $page_template )
{
    if ( is_page( 'my-custom-page-slug' ) ) {
        $page_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/custom-page-template.php';
    }
    return $page_template;
}
