Code example migrated from Codex:
A plugin can register as a content filter with the code:
Where
my_plugin_comment_templateis the function WordPress should call when thecomment_template()function is called on the theme. Note that the filter function the plugin defines must return the a full path to a template file or the resulting page will be blank.This is an example of loading a different comments template for a custom post type:
<?php function my_plugin_comment_template( $comment_template ) { global $post; if ( !( is_singular() && ( have_comments() || 'open' == $post->comment_status ) ) ) { return; } if($post->post_type == 'business'){ // assuming there is a post type called business return dirname(__FILE__) . '/reviews.php'; } } add_filter( "comments_template", "my_plugin_comment_template" ); ?>Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
The example code will load the template file
reviews.phplocated in your plugins folder for CPT calledbusiness; otherwise, the code uses default template.
