Same as Page Templates feature in core, the plugin only works if the template file is located in the root of your theme, or in a folder in the root of the theme so I suspect that is the issue. It should be in wp-content/themes/mytheme/ or in wp-content/themes/mytheme/folder/ but no more folder nesting would work.
No show select template on custom taxonomy.
<?php
/*
Category of Product Template: Custom Taxonomy Template
*/
?>
This is template for custom taxonomy.
Are you using WooCommerce by any chance? If so, the header should be:
<?php
/*
Product Category Template: Grid 4 Column
*/
?>
This is template for custom taxonomy.
I have the same problem but my template is in the root of my theme.
I don’t get in categories a drop and down menu and my template can not find my general category template. After deactivate this plugin I can use my general Category Template.
<?php
/**
* Category Template: ThreeGrid
*/
?>
Before I installed “Custom Taxonomy Templates” I used the “Custom Categorie Templates”. This works fine for me. I’ve delete “Custom Categorie Templates” before I installed “Custom Taxonomy Templates”.
I use WordPress 4.5.3
This is a late response but I hope it would still be useful.
@blackcat: the “Custom Category Templates” and “Custom Taxonomy Template” plugins are two different plugins and store the data differently. The template that was assigned using one plugin will not apply while using the other. You simply need to edit the term and update the Template setting, the new plugin will then recognize the assigned template properly and will load that.
You could also keep the old plugin (“Custom Category Templates”) active on the website, just so the templates you have made previously will load, this is fine and the two plugins can co-exist on the website happily.
