Child Theme with Default Page(s)

  • Is it possible to create a child theme that will always display a particular custom page template or templates?

    For example, let’s say I wanted to create a child theme for use in a network installation that uses a particular contact us page or if it’s a membership site uses a particular “about this network” page.

    This is as opposed to using the dropdown menu in the page edit screen.

    Thanks.

  • Totally and completely untested:

    function apply_my_template( ) {
   global $post;
   if (
        !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID )
        || 'page' != $post->post_type
        || wp_is_post_revision( $post->ID )
        || wp_is_post_autosave( $pos->ID )
        || 'auto-draft' == $post->post_status
        || 'trash' == $post->post_status
        )
        return $post->ID;
    if ( $post->post_title == 'Contact' ) update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_page_template',
'page-my-template.php' );
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'apply_my_template', 10, 2 );
