Whenever Matador outputs HTML, typically via the short codes but also by filtering WP’s the_content
filter, we use one of our templates. To make creating your own site easy, we’ve made it easy to override our templates in one of two ways.
To override a theme template via the matador
folder in your theme:
- Go to the plugin’s directory and navigate to the
matador-plugin/templates
directory. - Find the file you wish to override, and create a copy.
- Create a folder in your theme’s or child theme’s directory root called matador.
- If the template you’re overriding was in a subdirectory, create a matching subdirectory in your theme.
- Paste a copy of the file.
- Any changes made to the file in your theme will now show on your site.
To override a theme template via the matador_locate_template
filter.
We also provide a filter that can be used to override template locations. Use with caution.
