 * It is indeed gone. All of the filters in the various get_???_template() functions
   have been removed. Not sure a workaround exists.

 * Why have they got rid of them. It doesn’t make any sense.
 * I hope someone can help with a workaround.

 * Is it? I notice that there is still filter `{$type}_template` in wp-includes/
   template.php (Line: 28)

 * Hi All, same problem.
 * Now I am using below code for load the template for my custom post type from 
   my plugin folder.
 *     ```
       function (My_Custom_Post_Type)_template($single_template) {
            global $post;
   
            if ($post->post_type == '{My_Custom_Post_Type}') {
                 $single_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/templates/{My_Custom_Post_Type}-template.php';
            }
            return $single_template;
       }
   
       add_filter( "single_template", "{My_Custom_Post_Type}_template" );
       ```
   
 * How could I replace the above “single_template” filter.
 * How could I have use this {$type}_template?
 * Please help!
