Change template in WordPress plugin

1 Views

I want to detect if the subdomain is “m.”, and if so display a different template. Couldn’t find what I was looking for, in the WordPress API to do so.

  1. You can use the parse_url() function in PHP to do this:

    $parsed = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$host = explode('.', $parsedUrl['host']);
$subdomain = $host[0];

    Then, you can add your own if statement:

    if ($subdomain == "m") { ... } else { ... }

  3. I suggest to create you own plugin with one single script and put it in wp-content/plugins with a code like this:

    <?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Theme swithwer
* Plugin URI: http://URI_Of_Page_Describing_Plugin_and_Updates
* Description: Custom theme switcher
* Version: 0.1
* Author: XXX XXX
* Author URI: http://URI_Of_The_Plugin_Author
* License: A "Slug" license name e.g. GPL2
*/

add_filter( 'stylesheet', 'switch_ma_theme' );
add_filter( 'template',   'switch_ma_theme' );

function switch_ma_theme()

{
   global $wpdb;
   // condition to test ad theme to load
   if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'blog.xxxx.xxx')
       return 'xxxthemexxx';
   // else default theme
   $theme = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT option_value FROM wp_options where    option_name='template' ");
   $theme = array_pop($theme);
   return $theme->option_value;
   // Return the theme directory name

}

    Then go in the admin , look for you new plugin and enable it
