Title: Custom template documentation Last modified: September 4, 2019 --- # Custom template documentation * Resolved [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/) * Hi again! * I’m struggling with custom template. There are a few questions I can’t find info neither on the website documentation nor this support forum. * he thing is I’ve created custom amp template in “amp” folder in my current theme. Placed there some files from old default template, such as html-start.php, html- end.php, header-bar.php etc. * So I’ve got page.php and single.php too. I’ve added custom singular templates with the hook `amp_post_template_file`, no the questions are: * 1) How to set different template for pages with different templates. Default WP description `Template Name: Homepage Template` is not working. * 2) How to customize JS files list and add an `amp-carousel` to the template? I use custom html in the theme so there are carousels for certain templates with ACF. * 3) How to get amp-img from simple get_post_thumbnail() and etc. * Thanks. - This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/).

This allows you to re-use your active theme’s templates in AMP, so you can do things as you do normally in WordPress themes. There is some documentation about that at [https://amp-wp.org/documentation/how-the-plugin-works/amp-plugin-serving-strategies/](https://amp-wp.org/documentation/how-the-plugin-works/amp-plugin-serving-strategies/) * Thread Starter [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11900333) * [@westonruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) thanks for fast reply. * Yeah, I was trying it, when I was testing different modes. And I saw a page without theme’s CSS, so I just turned “reader mode” back. * But now I tried again and some pages are working quite good and this mode seems cooler! Now I need to manage this issue with the styles. It’s interesting that there is no any logic in this issue. * Pages that has styles: – 1 archive (projects) with posts of this type – 2 pages with custom template – 1 simple page * Pages has NO styles: – Home page with custom template – 2 more archives with posts of this type – even simple post categories – and posts! * Maybe you have some suggestions?

I’ve described behavior of pages ( without css) on my lacalhost, but on web server (it’s locked with folder password? if it helps) all pages gives blank page. * Maybe better way is to show me how queue script to the reader mode template? 🙂 * Thanks. * Thread Starter [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11919779) * [@westonruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) any ideas? * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11923256) * Sorry, this will probably need to wait until next week for a follow up. * /cc [@jamesosborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11931375) * [@nikitasp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) Sorry for the delay. To add a script to the Reader mode templates, you can use code like this in your theme’s `functions.php`: * ``` add_filter( 'amp_post_template_data', function( $data ) { $data['amp_component_scripts'] = array_merge( $data['amp_component_scripts'], array( 'amp-carousel' => true, ) ); return $data; } ); ``` * This won’t be necessary once this is resolved: [https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/2202](https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/2202) * Thread Starter [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11933878) * [@westonruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) thank you!

So I’ve added it to scripts, but nothing works… * ``` add_filter('amp_post_template_data', function($data){ $data['amp_component_scripts'] = array_merge( $data['amp_component_scripts'], array( 'amp-carousel' => true, 'amp-accordion' => true, ) ); return $data; }); ``` * what’s wrong with merge? * Works only: * ``` add_filter('amp_post_template_data', function($data){ $data['amp_component_scripts'] = array_merge( $data['amp_component_scripts'], array( 'amp-carousel' => true, ) ); $data['amp_component_scripts'] = array_merge( $data['amp_component_scripts'], array( 'amp-accordion' => true, ) ); return $data; }); ``` * Thanks. - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/). * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-template-documentation/#post-11938091) * I’m not sure.
