22,567 PointsHow to add CSS file on a specific page template via functions.php?
Need to add some extra css for specific page template like 'page-contacts.php', but adding body class is not an option, too many css rules to add. Want to do it via functions.php. Is it possible?

22,567 PointsNo it does not work. And I've checked with Query Monitor is_page_template does not trigger. Perhaps because it does not see this page-contacts.php as template file - when you write in the top /*Template Name : Some Template Name */ and then choose in editor in Template dropdown. Instead is_page is triggered and is_single . And in body class there is page-template-default class, so WordPress is_page_template will not work anyway. is_page works great while page name fits.
Thanks for help! =)

<?php
if( is_page_template( 'page-contacts.php') {
wp_enqueue_style( 'my-page-contacts-css', '/path/to/style.css')
}
Now that css file will only be included on the page-contacts.php page template.

22,567 PointsI don't know why, but is_page_template is not working. Should I write some comment section in the top of the template php file something to specify that this is the specific template like:
/*Template Name: Contacs Page*/
By the way I've tried this also, but still not working

22,567 PointsUPDATE:
I've found the solution to use is_page('contacts'), then it triggers the code. But still wondering why is_page_template is not working for me. Is there any chance to debug this?

28,149 PointsYou can throw in an echo get_page_template() and it'll tell you what page template it's using. See if it comes back as page-contacts.php
Karen Vartapetov
22,567 Pointsit comes with a full path to file page-contacts.php
C:\xampp\htdocs\energy/wp-content/themes/Energy/page-contacts.php
here it is
Kevin Korte
28,149 PointsSo curiosity, does is_page_template('C:\xampp\htdocs\energy/wp-content/themes/Energy/page-contacts.php'); work?
