I've created a plugin which registers a custom post type and a custom taxonomy for me.
Now, whenever I visit: www.mysite.com/events_categories/category I should get a list of all the posts under that category. I want to use my own template and not Wordpress' default category template. Also, I want this template to be used for ALL categories, not just one category.
I used this code:
function taxonomy_template() {
global $post;
if( is_tax( 'event_categories' ) ) {
$tax_tpl = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\taxonomy-event_categories.php';
}
return $tax_tpl;
}
add_filter( 'template_include', 'taxonomy_template' );
And while it works for the taxonomy, it makes everything else on the site go blank. This is because the $tax_tpl is empty if the page I'm on isn't a taxonomy.
I've tried using template_redirect, but no luck either.
So I want to know how to hook my template (taxonomy-event_categories.php) to the Wordpress' category template.
Hope you guys have a solution, because I've looked everywhere and it's possible to find the solution, yet I see many plugins doing this effortlessly.
Okay, so I solved it using this code:
add_action('template_redirect', 'taxonomy_template');
function taxonomy_template( ){
$tax_tpl = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\taxonomy-event_categories.php';
if( is_tax('event_categories') ) {
include $tax_tpl;
die();
}
}
I've no idea why this works because I think I already tried this specific code, but it didn't work. Let's just hope it will keep working.

I found an interesting blog post from 2015 with the following containing the "single-{$type}_template" hook:
add_filter( 'single-hats_template', function( $template ) [
if ( ! $template ) {
$template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/templates/default-hats-single.php';
}
return $template;
});

That would be perfect for me as I am writing a plugin that only needs to override the template for a certain type of post.
However, I added a filter for this hook, added a breakpoint and got nothing. I couldn't find this hook in any documentation and I wonder if its since been removed?
I searched the source code, but couldn't find it being called.
I checked the global $wp_filter in the debugger and it wasn't listed.
is there a definitive way to check if a hook exists?

i work with sportpress on Wordpress. I have a custom plugin that add a lot of function to it.
I created a template for the custom post-type of sportpress. They are in my plugin but i don't find how to make them prioritary on theme. The theme isn't a custom'one, so i don't want to delete or modify anything in it.
I have tried several things but theme's file is everytime superior.
Things tried :
naming the file 'single-....php',
filter : add_filter( 'template_include', 'toornament_template' ),
shortcode in theme file (works but not what i want...),
Thanks a lot...
EDIT :
here is what i tried exaclty, it works with another type of post that has no theme template, but not for the one that has single-post template in the theme...
add_filter( 'template_include', 'player_template', 1 );
function player_template( $template ) {
if ( is_singular( 'sp_player' ) && file_exists( plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'templates/player-tpl.php' ) ){
$template = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'templates/player-tpl.php';
}
return $template;
};
I am developing a plugin with a CPT and a CPT template. I would like the template to be able to integrate into any theme it is used with. I thought of calling the 'the_content' hook from my template but I have no idea how to do that as all I can find is calling it from the functions.php file. Please can you tell me how to code this in the CPT template file (like single-CPT.php) or maybe I am heading in the wrong direction so please redirect me. Thank you!
EDIT:
If you only want to add content to the_content function you can do something like that:
add_filter('the_content', "test_the_content");
function test_the_content($content){
if(is_singular('test')){
$content = $content.test_additional_content();
}
return $content;
}
function test_additional_content(){
ob_start(); ?>
<div class="test">
Here what you want to display after the_content
</div>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
ORIGINAL ANSWER
If I understood your question correctly, here is how to define the templates of your custom post type in your plugin. This way it will also be possible to overwrite the plugin template from the theme.
The example below is for a CPT called "test", so you have to adapt the code according to the name of your CPT.
add_filter('template_include', 'my_plugin_templates');
function my_plugin_templates($template) {
$post_types = array('test');
if (is_post_type_archive($post_types) && !file_exists(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/archive-test.php')) {
$template = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'archive-test.php';
}
if (is_singular($post_types) && !file_exists(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/single-test.php')) {
$template = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'single-test.php';
}
return $template;
}

Sorry in advance for my approximative english. I would like to change product page style on woocommerce for a specific product category (don't display pictures and some other important layout changes). Already made it and it works, the problem is that I would like to display these products on a single page. I tried using woocommerce integrated shortcode [product_page id=$id], the problem is that the custom style and layout I created on content-single-product.php (in woocommerce folder) is not applied using this shortcode. I tried to copy my script on class-ws-shortcodes.php (woocommerce folder) but it didn't worked. What should I do to display the products on a specific page, with the real style of these products page (the custom one I created), and not the woocommerce shortcode one?
Thanks in advance for your answers
There are two ways to achieve this, it just depends on whether you want to edit single-product.php or content-single-product.php. Both will get you to the same end result.
To do the former, you can use default WordPress functionality and filter the template under given conditions via template_include
add_filter( 'template_include', 'so_29984159_custom_category_template' );
function so_29984159_custom_category_template( $template ){
if ( is_single() && get_post_type() == 'product' && has_term( 'custom_category', 'product_cat' ) ) {
$template = locate_template( 'single-product-custom.php' );
}
return $template;
}
Or if you'd rather create a custom content-product.php template part, you can use WooCommerce's wc_get_template_part which works in pretty much the same way.
Technically I think you can use the same conditional logic, but I tweaked it here to point out the variables WooCommerce makes available at the filter.
add_filter( 'wc_get_template_part', 'so_29984159_custom_content_template_part', 10, 3 );
function so_29984159_custom_content_template_part( $template, $slug, $name ){
if ( $slug == 'content' && $name == 'product' && has_term( 'custom_category', 'product_cat' ) ) {
$template = locate_template( 'content-product-custom.php' );
}
return $template;
}
In either case the single-product-custom.php or content-product-custom.php would be in your theme's root folder. To put them somewhere else, just change the path in the locate_template() argument.
You can not do coding in wordpress's file i.e. page.php to modify woocommerce pages. Its wrong way. You simply override WooCommerce pages into your theme folder and then modify any pages which you want to do. All templates/pages are located in a woocommerce/templates folder.
Here you can find documentation.

edit woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php for single product view
I'm trying to understand Wordpress plugin like:
apply_filters( 'gettext', $translations->translate( $text ), $text, $domain );
I'm looking for all codes in Wordpress, I can't find:
add_filter( 'gettext', ....);
Why there is no add_filter for this plugin? Or I missed something? Same thing like:
do_action('wp_loaded');
I can't find:
add_action('wp_loaded', ....);
apply_filters is like, 'if there are any filters with this name, run the attached callbacks with these parameters'. So if there is no add_filter for that name, it means that there is no filter that's going to be run with the apply_filters call at the moment.
The same goes with do_action and add_action.
I am a beginner in PHP - WordPress stack as well, but this is from my understanding.
The plugins call apply_filters without having any add_filter in their codes is to allow the website users to add custom logic to their plugins. We - the users, can add our own function and use add_filter to register our functions.
For example, this piece of code is from the plugin. Normally, it shows all products but it provides us a way to not show a specific product.
// Plugin's
if (apply_filters( 'plugin_show_products', true, $product->get_id() ) ) {
$this->show_products();
}
So, if we - the users, want to customize a bit. We can add our own function as following (maybe in functions.php)
// Our custom changes
function my_own_changes($boolean, $product_id) {
if ( $product_id === 5 ) return false;
return true;
}
add_filter( 'plugin_show_products', 'my_own_changes', 10, 2 );
This translates to: The plugin will behave normally but for my own site, it will not show the product with ID of 5!
I have come across this type of code in a plugin or theme where the apply_filter is used without necessarily having an existing filter or add_filter
In this case, where the apply_filters is used without a filter you will have to call the function again where you want to run it. For example, in the header of a theme.
The following is an example of apply filters used in a function that is again called in the header.php
if ( ! function_exists( 'header_apply_filter_test' ) ) {
function header_apply_filter_test() {
$filter_this_content = "Example of content to filter";
ob_start();
echo $filter_this_content;
$output = ob_get_clean();
echo apply_filters( 'header_apply_filter_test', $output );//used here
}
}
Now in the header.php file, you would have to call this function since it is not hooked anywhere. So, in this case, to display the output in the header you would call the function like this :
<?php header_apply_filter_test(); ?>
You could as well write this code with a hook and it would do the same thing i.e display the output in the header.
add_filter('wp_head', 'header_apply_filter_test');
if ( ! function_exists( 'header_apply_filter_test' ) ) {
function header_apply_filter_test() {
$filter_this_content = "Example of content to filter";
ob_start();
echo $filter_this_content;
$output = ob_get_clean();
echo $output;
}
}
For this second option, you would still have the capability of using apply_filters anywhere else to call the callback function header_apply_filter_test() since the filter now exists.
So the bottom line in my view is a use case since either approach works!
