Looking through the WordPress documentation, it says that is_page_template() compares against a “template name”, if one is provided.
I have a template stored in page-homepage.php called Homepage:
/*
* Template Name: Homepage
* Description: The template for displaying the homepage
*/
And I have some code I wish to run in my functions.php when I’m using that template:
if (is_page_template('Homepage')) {
...
But it isn’t being triggered when I’m on a page which uses that template.
When I look at the code that WordPress executes for is_page_template(), it looks like it actually checks for the document name, not the template name…?
function is_page_template( $template = '' ) {
$page_template = get_page_template_slug( get_queried_object_id() );
if ( $template == $page_template )
return true;
In my instance it seems that $page_template is page-homepage.php — not the template name, like the documentation suggests…?
Am I doing something wrong?
