Is There Any Way to get the template Name By full URL for example
If the full url is
www.example.com/hello-world
I need a function that return the template name (page.php)
I know that WordPress matches every url with regular expression to determine the query and decide which template to include.
That's exactly what I need, a built in or (custom made) function that takes the URL and returns back the corresponding template
You can make use of the global $template which holds the complete path of the current template being use to display a page. From there you can manipulate the value to get the name of the template
As example, the value of $template looks like this: (This is on my localhost on my PC)
E:\xammp\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/themes/pietergoosen2014/page-test.php
To only return the page-test.php part, I use the following function which uses the PHP functions substr and strrpos which finds the last / character in URL and then returns everything after that:
function get_current_template() {
global $template;
return substr( $template, strrpos( $template, '/' ) + 1 );
}
You can then use it anywhere in your template like
echo get_current_template();
I usually just print the template name in my site's header on my localhost like
add_action( 'wp_head', function ()
{
global $template;
print substr( $template, strrpos( $template, '/' ) + 1 );
});
or
add_action( 'wp_head', function ()
{
global $template;
print $template;
});
You should be able to use get_page_template_slug()
And since that function requires an id instead of a URL, use url_to_postid() to find the ID first
Use the following code in header.php to know the current template:
<body id="<?php echo get_option('current_page_template'); ?>">
I'd be happy if this helps.
