Programatically changing template of a page

1 comment

1. Looking at the wp_postmeta table, you can see the page template is stored there.

   Therefore, a simple call to update_post_meta (codex) should do the trick :

    update_post_meta( $post_id, '_wp_page_template', 'my_template.php' );
   

   The filename and extension is necessary, as per my example.
