[Suggestion] – Change filter to template parts

Hi Rajat
The filter exists so you can change it to be whatever you want. I don’t see why I would change the default if it can easily be overwritten by a filter?

Thanks

Scott

Hello Scott,

I know that “Don’t fix unless it is broken“, and it is true.
But, I tried to apply override filter with higher priority. But, it doesn’t work. Right now, I am using two template folder (parts and template-parts) in my theme.
May be you may demonstrate me how to do that?

Regards
Rajat

Hello Scott,
[Fixed]
I figured it out. I have increased priority to 15 to make it run after default filter. Now, filter is overridden.

For those who are visiting this ticked for a solution. I have added this line into my functions.php file and template-parts is my theme templates folders. Note: Underlying code is works fine for me. But, I, strongly, suggest you to use @scottsweb code in following reply.

apply_filters( 'wpiw_template_part', 'template-parts/wp-instagram-widget.php', 15 );

And, code inside template-parts/wp-instagram-widget.php is added below [I have removed alt and title from image tag].

<?php
// It is a WP Instagram Widget template
echo '<li class="'. esc_attr( $liclass ) .'"><a href="'. esc_url( $item['link'] ) .'" target="'. esc_attr( $target ) .'"  class="'. esc_attr( $aclass ) .'"><img src="'. esc_url( $item[$size] ) . '"  class="'. esc_attr( $imgclass ) .'"/></a></li>';

Hi Rajat

That does not look right to me. The code you need is something like this:

add_filter('wpiw_template_part', 'my_wpiw_template_part');

function my_wpiw_template_part() {
    return 'template-parts/wp-instagram-widget.php';
}

Thank you @scottsweb,
