I want to load some of the pages(not wordpress page, a template file other than wordpress's default template file) according to the url came on the address bar.

for instance, I have page in my template file ie my_account.php to show my profile pic and other informations from to my wordpress pofile. and it is placed in my defaut theme folder

/themes/mytheme/my_account.php

When the url is http://mysite/MyAccount/ then I need to load the above page. Something like if http://mysite/register/ then load the register.php from my theme folder.

I'm using custome permalinks option. http://mysite/hello_world_post/

So How can I configure and load the template according to the url, how to controll this by using a plugin.

You should be able to use template_redirect. I haven't tested it though, should be something like this.

function page_redirect() {
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'your_url')  {

        require(TEMPLATEPATH . '/mY-account.php');

    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'page_redirect');

    @coderex et al wouldn't you have to disable WordPress from flagging this unknown URL (within your existing rewrite rules) and returning 404? eg, by adding new query vars or hijacking $wp_query->is_404 . or were you successful otherwise?

See this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Templates_by_page-ID_or_page-Slug

The easiest is by slug. For example if your http://mysite/register/ slug is register then create a custom page template page-register.php.

BTW, I didn't know you can use _ for permalink? Plugin?

  • In this case I need to create a page from my admin area, But I don't want to do that. Is there any method to achieve this??

  • Just create a blank Pages. Put in title and slug with no content. It will load the template. BTW, if you still don't want to create from admin, I think there's a plugin called Fake Page.
