This tutorial will show you how to create a custom link for your template page: get_page_link<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First thing we need to do is create our template page in the root folder of our WordPress theme.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Create a template page: For example: User Favorites<\/h2>
<?php\n\/**\n * Recent User Favorites\n *\n * This file contains the markup for recent entries displayed in the\n * 404 pages of the Prime theme.\n *\n * @package Nomdutheme\n *\/\n?><\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
The next step is creating the new page in WordPress Admin and associate it to the newly created template.<\/p>\n
We will use a query, Post type, to match with our template page with the  _wp_page_template<\/strong> meta Key and our template name as a value (Remplace user-profile.php<\/strong> by your template page). We will ask to return your page on demand.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
function viadirectory_userprofile_id() {\n\t$args = [\n\t'post_type'     => 'page',\n\t'fields'        => 'ids',\n\t'nopaging'      => true,\n\t'meta_key'      => '_wp_page_template',\n\t'meta_value'    => 'user-profile.php'\n\t];\n\t$pages = get_posts( $args );\n\tforeach ( $pages as $page ) \n\treturn $page;\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
We will now create our custom permalink in order to load up the desired template. You can also add a custom CSS styling.<\/p>\n
We will be using the get_page_link<\/a><\/strong> function and include another function, viadirectory_userprofile_id(), which returns the page query.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
<ul>\n \t<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n \t<li class="<?php if (is_page_template('user-profile.php')) { echo 'active'; } else {}; ?>"><\/l>\n<\/ul>\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
You now have a dynamic link that loads the desired Template Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This tutorial will show you how to create a custom link for your template page: get_page_link.
