Lets try another approach.

Are you creating a new template?

Or are you using an existing template and making changes and would like to save those changes so that they are not lost on a software update?

Hi Ali,

If you’re creating a template from scratch, there’s a few extra steps that I’ll outline below. But first, the main custom view plugin checks for the template in folder_name/index.php.

So in your theme (ideally a child theme) you’ll add a new folder and name it grid-view. Then add your template file to this new folder and name it index.php.

In index.php you’ll need to include an add_action with a callback to your template’s main function. For grid-view this will look like:

add_action('action_hook_espresso_custom_template_grid-view','my_custom_template_grid_view');

function my_custom_template_grid_view(){

// template code and stuff goes here

}

Then you can load this template via shortcode on a page:

[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”grid-view”]

Thanks for letting us know you got it working. Can we mark this as resolved?
