   Hi,

   I am writing a plugin and I need to add a new page themplate that can be chosen when adding new page. I have read around dozen of topics and I came up with this code:

   add_filter('template_include', 'swpd_login_template');
   function swpd_login_template( $page_template )
   {
       $page_template =  plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'page-templates/login-template.php';
       return $page_template;
   }

   But it does not work. Does anyone has any idea what is wrong and how to fix this?

   Tried is as well. Here how I it looks:

   add_action("template_redirect", 'my_theme_redirect');
   
   function my_theme_redirect() {
       global $wp;
       $plugindir = dirname( __FILE__ );
   
       //A Specific Custom Post Type
       if ($wp->query_vars["post_type"] == 'page') {
           $templatefilename = 'login-template.php';
           if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/' . $templatefilename)) {
               $return_template = TEMPLATEPATH . '/' . $templatefilename;
           } else {
               $return_template = $plugindir . '/page-templates/' . $templatefilename;
           }
           do_theme_redirect($return_template);
        }
   }
   
   function do_theme_redirect($url) {
       global $post, $wp_query;
       if (have_posts()) {
           include($url);
           die();
       } else {
           $wp_query->is_404 = true;
       }
   }

   I have really spent hours to solve it and nothing works :( Do I have a mistake in any of above codes, or does someone have any other idea?

   I am not much sure, but does that "die();" statement required??

   This is how it was shown in the example, deleting it does not help.
