Template Page Not Getting Loaded

[brettatkin]

I have a page called Site Map and have set the Template to be "Archive" under "Page Attributes" area.

Here is the page actual page as rendered in the browser

Site Map

(Query Monitor is showing me that page_archive.php is getting used and not my custom template file.)

My theme has a page with the following code. The file name is site-map.php.

<?php

/**
 * Template Name: Archive
 * This is your custom Archive page.
 */

/** Remove standard post content output **/
remove_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );
/**
 * This function outputs sitemap-esque columns displaying all pages and recent posts.
 *
 * @since 1.6
 */
function genesis_page_archive_content() { ?>

	<h2><?php _e( 'Pages', 'genesis' ); ?></h2>
	<ul>
		<?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=' ); ?>
	</ul>

	<h2><?php _e( 'Recent Posts', 'genesis' ); ?></h2>
	<ul>
		<?php wp_get_archives( 'type=postbypost&limit=100' ); ?>
	</ul>
<?php
}

genesis();

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Brett

Change the name of the template name to My-Archive or something else different than the supplied Genesis Archive template name. This will assure that you are using the correct template.

Also, there's a much easier way to customize an archive page these days. The latest versions of the frame work provide you with a filter so you don't need to create a custom template any longer. Here are the details: http://victorfont.com/genesis_sitemap_output-filter/

Thank you for the help Victor. I did have to change the name of the template file.

I thought child theme pages were supposed to get loaded "last" - supersede the parent theme pages?

I'll check out your article on the new Sitemap Filter.

Thanks again.
