 * In a plugin amb trying to use this filter: **wp_before_load_template**; I use
   it like
 * add_action(‘wp_before_load_template’,’my_function_before_load_template’, 20, 
   3);
 * But I can not get any log neither in the Site Editor or in the front end.
 * I am using a block theme (Twenty Three) and WP 6.3.1 on a local host.
 * What I am doing wrong?

 * That action only fires when PHP templates are loaded for a classic theme. It’s
   not used with block themes like 2023. Block theme templates are loaded through
   a different mechanism. That’s all I know. IDK what that mechanism might be, sorry.
 * What are you actually trying to do with that action hook? Maybe someone else 
   can suggest an approach compatible with block themes.

 * Thanks, I am trying to get the information about which template is loaded for
   a page/post in a block theme.
 * I think I will look into template.php, template-loader.php and post-template.
