=== Child Page Templates === Contributors: Joe Anzalone Donate link: http://joeanzalone.com/plugins/child-page-templates/ Tags: template hierarchy, themes Requires at least: 3.3 Tested up to: 3.4.2 Stable tag: trunk License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Allows theme authors to add page templates to their themes that will be automatically used based on the page's parent. == Description == Allows theme authors to include templates that will be automatically used based on the page's parent. For example, adding the file "page-123.php" to the "child-page-templates" folder in your theme directory will define the template for all pages that are children of the page with ID #123. You can also do the same thing with the post's slug. This template file will be used for all pages that are children of the page with ID #123: /wp-content/themes/your-awesome-theme/child-page-templates/page-123.php This template file will be used for all pages that are children of the page with the "team" slug: /wp-content/themes/your-awesome-theme/child-page-templates/page-team.php == Installation == 1. Extract the zip file and drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the plugin from the "Plugins" page. 2. Create a folder in your theme (or child theme, if you use one) called "child-page-templates" 3. Add a PHP file named after the slug or ID of the parent page you want to use a custom template for. * For example: If you want every child page of your "Portfolio" page to use a particular template file, name that template file "page-portfolio.php" == Frequently asked questions == = Will the child-page-templates folder in my theme directory get overwritten when a new version of my theme is released? = Yes! If you didn't create your theme yourself, you should definitely be using a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes). Your child-page-templates folder will be safe so long as you add it to a theme (or child theme) you created. Even when the parent theme upgrades, your child theme will be untouched. == Changelog == = 1.0.2 = * First public release
