And yes, we’re only looking one level down.</p> <p><strong>Updated… Caution:</strong> Renaming a page template — and that includes moving all of top-level page templates into a directory — will unassign that page template for all pages currently using it.

Now we’re just looking for PHP files in the one theme we’re requesting. So while it ends up adding a few stat calls to what trunk was two days ago, they end up being minuscule in comparison to 3.3 and even in comparison to a complicated theme hierarchy.</p> <p>To display a page template, we simply pull the data from postmeta and check if the file exists. That didn’t change here; so frontend performance is still optimal.</p> <p>Additionally, there’s a hidden feature in WP_Theme: it allows for persistent caching of theme data. It’s off by default because a file edited in FTP wouldn’t refresh the cache, but if a plugin such as W3 Total Cache wanted to support it as an option (especially for sites with many themes), oh man, it sings. It’s designed so pulling a theme from cache doesn’t result in a single filesystem operation.</p> <p>So, I’m glad you asked. <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130071049im_/http://nacin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley"/> </p> </div> <div class="reply"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20130130071049/http://nacin.com/2012/03/29/page-templates-in-subdirectories-new-in-wordpress-3-4/?replytocom=137818#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-137818", "137818", "respond", "4003")">Reply <span>↓</span></a> </div> </article> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="li-comment-137809"> <article id="comment-137809" class="comment"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130071049im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6cf147a5459184fdd93a2328d03ebcb4?s=68&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D68&r=G" class="avatar avatar-68 photo" height="68" width="68"/><span class="fn"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130071049/http://tekartist.org/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Stephane Daury (@stephdau)</a></span> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130071049/http://nacin.com/2012/03/29/page-templates-in-subdirectories-new-in-wordpress-3-4/#comment-137809"><time datetime="2012-03-29T14:31:53+00:00">March 29, 2012 at 2:31 pm</time></a> <span class="says">said:</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"><p>The WP_Theme work should definitely have its place in the release announcement.

A single theme can now be fetched wp_get_theme(), and wp_get_themes() is will know to skip themes that aren’t allowed in multisite (unless you ask it otherwise).

So I often end up having things like page-contact.php and front-page.php in my themes, it’s a great time saver.</p> <p>I heard it’s possible to move those page templates in 3.4 to sub-directories, but no matter what I tried (dir name: /pages/ or /page-templates/, template file page-contact.php, contact.php) WordPress won’t include those templates automatically… Am I missing something here, or is this not implemented yet?</p> <p>For reference: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130071049/http://codex.wordpress.org/File:Template_Hierarchy.png?utm_source=wordpress-modguide"

现代都市生活，似乎让男人承受的压力越来越大。从男人腰间的皮带上，就能体会到其忙碌的状态。他们总是挂着或别着手机、钥匙包，甚至打火机，这很容易使人联想到古人腰带上携挂着的弓、剑、砾石、算盘等。挂弓、剑等在古代是高地位的象征，也必然会受到别人的羡慕。可是在今天，如果一个男人再在腰上挂一大串东西的话，那么就显得没有品味没有内涵了。现实生活中，大多数男人也都会不以为然地在腰间挂一些东西，甚至还美其名曰是体现自己的身份，殊不知这样做，在别人眼里，尤其是在一些有品位有见识的女性眼里，这些举止看起来是多么俗气和没有档次。</p> <p> 一个成熟的男人是不会让自己的腰间挂满着细小东西的。他们会在腰间系上一条高雅的腰带，简单而干练，还能在一定程度上代表男人的身份、品味和个性。</p> <p> 男人该如何选择适合自己又彰显品位的皮带呢？<br/> 1.在皮带的选择上请千万保持低调。黑色、咖色或棕色的皮带配以钢质、金质或银质的皮带扣，既适合各种衣物和场合，又可以很好地表现职业男士的气质。不要轻易使用式样新奇的和配以巨大皮带扣的皮带。</p> <p> 2.要考虑皮带的装饰性，不要挂过多的物品。因为简洁、干练是男人的特征。</p> <p> 3.皮带的长度应介于第一和第二的裤扣之间，宽度应保持在3厘米。如果皮带太窄，会失去男性的阳刚之气；如果皮带太宽，则只适合于休闲、牛仔风格的装束。</p> <p> 总之，在时尚潮流中，一个注意风度形象的男人，总会在腰间这一细节上多花心思，而不是随意对待，让一些小饰物挡住皮带的光芒。</p> </div> <div class="reply"> <a

class (as is implemented outside the wp-admin), I could add filters to get_template_directory() and similar functions to make WP search for a custom folder for pages and page templates, whereas using this new implementation, I saw that is impossible to add custom folders (filters or override methods), it only searches at one level down into the stylesheet folder.</p> <p>Is there any way to make it
