Hi,<br>Is there a way to have page templates in a sub-folder of a theme or do they have to be in the root folder? I know that using filter hooks an a template from a sub-folder can be added to the drop-down list of templates in the "Edit Page" screen (the way BP does it). Is there an easier way to do this?<br>
