Can I assign WP php file (specific template) to several pages with same prefix name/slug using (if is_page(){}) ?

If it's possible it could be useful. Is there a php function to do like css selector : [class*="activity-"] for example ??: if(is_page('[activity-]')){ include "activity.php"; }

the goal is to not repeat 4 times the same function : if(is_page('activity-sport')){ include "activity.php"; }

activity.php assign to :

  • website/activity-sport
  • website/activity-culture
  • website/activity-charity
  • website/activity-work

  • Yes, I know perfectly. But I use wordpress only for content, I use php file to create new templates . I can't use "page attributes" and "model" in wp right side menu! Precisely I want to use a template for several pages. But I will use many different templates by major categories: activities, news, businesses, companies, etc. The layout of the content and the php queries will not be the same. I prefer to have several php pages (templates) to distinguish each major category and not repeat unnecessary queries. maybe I'll use subdomains later.

  • I will still test the page template using model, but I think I would still be limited

How about this?

For PHP 8 (faster)

if ( str_contains( get_post_field( 'post_name' ), 'activity') ) { 
    get_template_part( 'activity' );
}

For older versions of PHP

if ( strpos(get_post_field( 'post_name' ), 'activity') !== false ) { 
    get_template_part( 'activity' );
}
