get_page_template() WordPress Function
The get_page_template() function is used to retrieve the path of a page template. This function can be used to check if a page template exists for a specific page.
get_page_template() #
Retrieve path of page template in current or parent template.
Description
The hierarchy for this template looks like:
- {Page Template}.php
- page-{page_name}.php
- page-{id}.php
- page.php
An example of this is:
- page-templates/full-width.php
- page-about.php
- page-4.php
- page.php
The template hierarchy and template path are filterable via the ‘$type_template_hierarchy’ and ‘$type_template’ dynamic hooks, where $type
is ‘page’.
