# Filtering pages by page template Page templates are stored in a custom field called `_wp_page_template` and can be chaged on the page editor screen.

### Filter by page template To create any visual filter on the page templates, use the `_wp_page_template` custom field to create a custom field filter.

### Restrict results to specific template To make an invisible restriction, use a hidden type filter to restrict the results to a specific template. {% hint style="info" %} If you don't know the tempalte name, make a visual filter (Radio) with the {get\_values} pseudo variable, and the plugin will display the values in the preview. ↑See example above↑ {% endhint %}

Resticting results to a specific template

### Exclude results by specific template Similarly as on the previous example, using the hidden type filter and the "NOT EXACTLY LIKE" operator will exclude all pages matching the given value.
