Add page template to child theme

[darkpollo]

Hi,
I am using the showcase pro child theme.
I would like to add a template page but I would like to add it on a way that wont be replaced when updating the theme.

I am using a plugin to load functions into the installation, but I am not sure how to create a function that tells the theme that there is another template and that it is not located on the theme folder but on this plugin folder.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks, but that explains how to create a page template.
I have it already, I want to add it to the theme without modifying the actual child theme I have, so I do not loose it when I update the theme in the future.

I am working with this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_template

But I am not sure which hook use to call that function.

Child themes are not updated however you can use template_include

Child themes are updated if you are using anyone of the studiopress themes...

Thanks for the link! I think I will be able to finish it with that info.

Have a nice day!

... but there is no update notification and virtually no reason to update the child theme anyway. It seems like you're going through some bother for no practical purpose. <?>

Another option is to use a custom functionality plugin

That is what I am using. I needed to code to use the template.

Thanks
