Filtering pages by page template

Pages can be filtered or restricted via using custom field filters.

PreviousSearch only within the current category (or any taxonomy) archiveNextTaxonomy Terms

Last updated 1 year ago

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.

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↑

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.
