Page Templates Not Working

[timworxParticipant Post count: 6]

I had put off creating page templates, particularly for full width pages, and I’m now finding that they don’t work for me. I’m not sure how, but my copy of Infinity didn’t include the full-width-template that is on github. I added that exact template to my files, however, it still does not show up.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Tim,

That should not happen Could you try downloading the latest version here:

https://github.com/PressCrew/infinity/zipball/buddypress

Download the file, unzip it and then rename the unpacked folder to “infinity”. Overwrite your existing Infinity theme and then try again. Maybe something has gone wrong during your download!

Let me know if that works ok Tim?

It looks like a number of things have been renamed or changed, thus making it not compatible with the child themes that have been made.

Is there any easy way to implement the new system? The version seems to have been structured a bit differently, no “engine” folder, for example.

Hey Tim,

In Beta 3 we’ve indeed changed up the folder structure for a number of reasons. If you’ve already started building your child theme and you’re using the .ini files for your theme development (good!!) then all you need to do is this:

create a new folder called engine

Move the folder called config into this folder so you end up with this:
engine/config

You mention that your version of Infinity does NOT have this folder structure? Could you tripple check that you have the latest version? You can find the downloads here: https://github.com/PressCrew/infinity/downloads

If you run into problems I’d gladly help you convert your child theme to the latest beta release. If you can zip up your child theme and post it here or email it to me (bowe[at]presscrew.com) then that would be awesome
