Hi there,

I’ve seen this issue addressed a couple of times and I’ve invested several hours trying to figure it out and have not met with results. Basically, my goal is to have a copy of ane existing template that is selectable via a dropdown. Then I will write custom css that revises the page output accordingly.

What I’ve been doing is taking files from the views/integrity theme (example: template-layout-full-width.php) and then copying them into the child theme with a new name.

Can you let me know what I”m doing wrong or point me to a step by step process for it. Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You can copy a page template but make sure to give it a unique name at the top :

<?php

// =============================================================================
// TEMPLATE NAME: My Template
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A custom page template
// =============================================================================

?>

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you. It’s still not working. Could you help me out?

What I’ve done is I’ve taken the
template-layout-content-sidebar.php file and added to the x-child/framework/views/integrity directory. I did not change the name. Then I added the header above to the file so that the resulting file looks like this.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// TEMPLATE NAME: My Template
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A custom page template
// =============================================================================

?>
	
<?php get_header(); ?>

  <div class="x-container max width offset">
    <div class="<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">

      <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', 'content', 'page' ); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_comments-template' ); ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>

    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?><code></code>

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. You can try placing them in theme root instead of views folder.

Cheers!
