Transform the way you manage templates on your WordPress site with Dynamic Template Parts. This powerful plugin extends the Full Site Editor, letting you swap headers, footers, and other Template Parts dynamically based on the content you’re editing — say goodbye to managing multiple templates for every layout variation.
With Dynamic Template Parts, you gain the freedom to swap Template Parts directly within the block editor, whether it’s for posts, pages, or custom post types. The user-friendly interface allows you to preview changes in real-time, giving you complete control over the look and feel of each piece of content without needing custom code.

<h3>Hooks and Filters</h3>
Dynamic Template Parts provides filters to allow developers to customise its behaviour. Below are the available filters and how to use them.
<h4>Show Deselected Template Part</h4>
The <code>dynamic_template_parts_show_deselected_template_part</code> filter lets you control whether a previously selected template part that is no longer available for selection should still be displayed. By default, the plugin keeps the part visible to avoid unintended changes, but you can override this to automatically remove unavailable template parts.
Example:
If you want to ensure that unavailable template parts are removed and replaced with the default template part, you can use the following code:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'dynamic_template_parts_show_deselected_template_part', function( $show_deselected, $template_parts, $selected_part ) {
 // Always hide deselected template parts and fall back to the default.
 return false;
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
Parameters:
<ul>
<li><code>$show_deselected</code> (bool): Whether to show the deselected template part. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>$template_parts</code> (array): The list of available template parts.</li>
<li><code>$selected_part</code> (string): The currently selected template part.</li>
</ul>
<h4>User Permissions</h4>
The <code>dynamic_template_parts_user_can_switch</code> filter lets you customise which users are allowed to switch template parts. By default, any user with the <code>edit_posts</code> capability can access this functionality, but you can restrict it to specific roles or capabilities.
Example:
If you want to restrict template part switching to administrators only, you can use the following code:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'dynamic_template_parts_user_can_switch', function( $can_switch ) {
 // Allow only administrators to switch template parts.
 return current_user_can( 'manage_options' );
} );
</code></pre>
Parameters:
<ul>
<li><code>$can_switch</code> (bool): Whether the current user has permission to switch template parts. Defaults to checking the <code>edit_posts</code> capability.</li>
</ul>
