    I saw a lot of questions about including custom views in WordPress (I mean custom templates). There were many answers. Some people recommend using template_include and others recommend using type_template

    My question is, which is better for working with custom templates? What are the pros and cons of both solutions?

    “template_include” is the last filter to fire before WP actually includes the template file, so filter callbacks here have the final say in what file is used. I always use this filter to override what WP wants to do. I’m not too familiar with “type_template”, it fires earlier and WP still has the opportunity to decide what file in the path should be used, if I’m reading it correctly.
