I made a custom template. What I did was:

Copied xtheme/template-blank-8.php
Into xchild/template-blank-8.php
Copied xtheme/framework/views/renew/template-blank-8.php
Into xchild/framework/views/renew/template-blank-8.php

Renamed my copied templates to “template-signup.php”
I opened xchild/template-signup.php and changed the Template Name to “Sign Up” and this:

<?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'template', 'signup' ); ?>

I then went to WordPress->Pages->Add New. I select the Page Template dropdown and don’t see “Sign Up” anywhere.

What else do I need to do? There is no caching on the site.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You don’t need to create within views folder and call it again. You can directly use the file template-signup.php as your template as it should be on theme root folder.

Cheers!

I just tried that and it still doesn’t show up. Does it have something to do with me running multisites?

Hi There,

Thank you for the credentials. Upon checking, template-signup.php file is missing on this folder \wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\renew. I am able to add it but then it is still missing on template dropdown option. I tried it on my test site and it’s working. See attached screenshot. This might be cache. Do you have a caching service on your hosting? Please check and then empty the cache and check again if the template will be available. Do let us know how this goes.

I only removed the renew view because that’s what I thought Rupok said to do above. I added it back but it’s still not working. I don’t have any caching service on the site.

Does it work differently with multisite setup? I noticed that your test image was for a single-site setup.

[jclay12345]

Never mind. I got it working. Thanks for your help. The problem was when the multisite was created, it looks like the theme used revered back to the parent theme and not the child. Once I activated the child theme again, it worked.

Glad you’ve sorted it out.

If you need anything else, please let us know 🙂
