Template Dropdown In Page Editor: Child Theme

    By following a tutorial at Udemy, I came up with a custom theme that, as far as I’m concerned, works beautifully. So, this post is basically a wish-list inquiry. The theme has three custom templates that show all right in the Template Dropdown in Page Editor. They also work all right.

    When I created a child theme for it, I copied and modified those custom templates to conform to the needs of the child theme, and they also work all right, mostly.

    What I’ve tried to accomplish to no avail, is to exclude from the child theme’s Template Dropdown in Page Editor some, not all, of the parent’s templates. I would really appreciate any guidance in achieving this. Thanks!

  • Hello mrcangrejero,

    Please add the below code in your child theme function.php file which will helps you to remove parent theme templates in your child theme.

    add_filter( 'theme_page_templates', 'my_remove_page_template' );
    function my_remove_page_template( $pages_templates ) {
    unset( $pages_templates['your-template-name.php'] );
    return $pages_templates;
}

    Thanks
