I have a simple problem I’m hoping someone can shed some light on. I have a child theme with a custom page template and I’m simply trying to check weather or not the template is in use. Under normal circumstances, I would have just used the is_page_template function, however it doesn’t seem to be working with child themes. I’ve tried the following
if(is_page_template('template-custom-fullwidth.php')){
//do something..
}
as well as
if(is_page_template(dirname(get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url')).'/template-custom-fullwidth.php'){
//do something..
}
Neiter works and I was hoping there is a more elegant solution than using $_SERVER to check for URLs. I can’t imagine there not being a function for this seeing as this seems like a common task. I believe the problem is the difference between template and stylesheet directories. Is it possible to use WordPress to check for page templates located in a child theme?
Thanks in advance!
