How to install a custom template

The default global templates are located in the following directory:

/wp-content/plugins/content-egg/templates/

Important: Never edit plugin files directly to customize a template. Any changes made to the plugin files will be lost when the plugin is updated.

Steps to Install a Custom Template

1. Create Your Template File:

   • Create a text file for your template.

   • The template file name must start with the 'block_' prefix, for example, block_my_template.php.

2. Prepare for File Upload:

   • Use the file manager in your hosting dashboard or any WordPress file manager plugin.

   • Create a special directory for custom templates:

     /wp-content/content-egg-templates/

1. Upload Your Custom Template:

• Copy your custom template file to the directory created in the previous step:

  /wp-content/content-egg-templates/

1. Alternative Paths:

• You can also place your custom template in one of the following directories:

  /wp-content/themes/your-theme/content-egg-templates/
  /wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/content-egg-templates/

1. Apply the Custom Template:

• Your custom template will appear in the template list with the prefix "[custom]".

• You can now apply the custom template to Content Egg global shortcodes.
