Wordpress Page Parent Template

Question

Hi experts,

I have a wordpress site in which there are four main parent pages which have many subpages.

I have different layout for each parent page. Is there any way I can define that every parent page will use its own template. For example I have parent_page1.php, parent_page2.php, parent_page3.php and parent_page4.php templates in my theme folder. Now I can get the parent page ID but dont know how to define the condition for each page.

Kindly reply,

Thanks

Do you want to do this automatically? If you're happy to let it be manual, you can just select the appropriate template from the Pages->Edit Page right column, that way each will have its own template, and you don't need any coding for that.
