Usage

After plugin activation, you can use Nette Latte templates in your theme. Just use .latte file extension instead of .php. Template files with .php extension will continue to work, but that templates will have lower priority in template resolution.

There are limitations with header.php and footer.php. You should use instead {php wp_head()} and {php wp_footer()} macro inside layout file. If you need to use header.php and footer.php file (e.g. for WooCommerce plugin), leave that files blank.

If you want to have a fallback for a case when the plugin is not activated, add index.php inside your theme folder with some meaningful message that says that there is plugin needed.

You can also define your custom filters and macros. Use the following code in your functions.php file.

<?php // wp-content/themes/my-theme/functions.php
use NetteLatteEngine\NetteLatteEngine;

// https://latte.nette.org/en/guide#toc-user-defined-macros
NetteLatteEngine::addMacro('test', $start_php_code, $end_php_code);

// https://latte.nette.org/en/guide#toc-custom-filters
NetteLatteEngine::addFilter('test', $callback_function);

If you want define custom post template, create a template file in theme root directory and put the comment block at the begining of the file like this:

{*
Template Name: Custom template file
Template Post Type: post, page
*}
...
<h1>Content</h1>
...
