I’m trying to make a custom page template to show a specific category in a specific page (not using the “categories” page, because that option doesn’t allow me to use slider nor custom sidebars). So I created that template, but I can’t figure out in which directory I need to copy it. I’m working with a child theme of Integrity. I’ve tried to put it inside the framework/views/integrity folder of the parent theme, the same on the child theme, even in the main X folder with the other templates, but WP doesn’t recognize it (it doesn’t show on the template dropdown menu),

Can you guide me on this?

thanks!

luciano

childtheme/template-custom.php
childtheme/views/integrity/template-custom.php

look at template-blank-1.php in X folder for the format for your childtheme/template-custom.php format:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// TEMPLATE NAME: Blank - Container | Header, Footer
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A blank page for creating unique layouts.
//
// Content is output based on which Stack has been selected in the Customizer.
// To view and/or edit the markup of your Stack's index, first go to "views"
// inside the "framework" subdirectory. Once inside, find your Stack's folder
// and look for a file called "template-blank-1.php," where you'll be able to
// find the appropriate output.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'template', 'blank-1' ); ?>

I duplicated the files mentioned above:
childtheme/template-custom.php
childtheme/views/integrity/template-custom.php

and customized them. So far, so good.
However, I don’t have FTP access.
There is a place in Cornerstone where it says upload template, but so far I’m getting “Uh oh! Template not formatted correctly!” even if I use the default blank-1 templates.

Am I doing this right?

Sorry, but the template that the original poster is referring here, is the page layout template.

While the Cornerstone template is a page content template, hope that make sense. So, uploading a page layout template to Cornerstone would not work. You need to upload the template files with FTP or File manager on your Cpanel.

Hope this shed some lights. Cheers!
