Problem with WP 4.7 and "is_page_template" function

[mekshq]

Hi,

I have found a strange bug in the recent WP 4.7 version which is probably related to new feature that allows templates for all post types.

Here is the info:

You have some page template, for example template-example.php and you assign a page to it. Then, if any taxonomy (category, tag, or any custom) uses the same ID as that page, when is_page_template('template-example.php') is called on taxonomy template it will always return true. I guess the problem should be easily fixed if you just add a conditional statement is_singular() within is_page_template function.

Hope this is clear enough.

Cheers!

Hello @mekshq, welcome to WordPress Trac!

Thanks for your valid report. It's a duplicate of #39211, though, which is already fixed in the 4.7 branch and will be available in the next minor release.
If you'd like to test out the upcoming 4.7.1 release on your site before the release, it includes a fix for this and bunch of other issues, see the directions ​available here for installing the beta testing plugin.

All right, thanks for letting us know. Glad this is fixed already!

Cheers!
