How do I find what template my site is using?

Post by Al the Editor » Thu Jul 28, 2022 7:40 pm

I need to install HubSpot tracking code in the body of the index.php code. HubSpot says I need to select the name of my template. I know where the templates are listed, but how do I know which one the site is using? Thanks!

It usually goes into the head section, not the body.

The template you are using is marked as default in Template manager.

Thank you! HubSpot is specific about putting the code in the body, which does seem unusual. Can I assume by the attached screenshot that js_wylia is the correct template?

It is the default front end template.

Yes or no? Is it js_wylia? They all have "default" after their name, two have stars in the "default" column. I'm guessing the one with the green checkmark is the template? This particular website is new to me, I'm not familiar with Joomla, and I need to help this client.

I figured out that it is the js_wylia template. However, the steps provided by HubSpot do not work. Time to move on. Thank you for your help!

@toivoi answered your question - the default template is marked with the gold/orange 'star' symbol.

There are two marked with stars because one is the Admin template and one is the Front-end template both marked as "default".

The green check mark indicates the template is assigned to the pages you select it to be. You can select different templates for different menu items if you wanted to (but normally it is a matter of the whole site uses one template).

If you want to learn about joomla stick to its official documentation (docs.joomla.org), or this forum.

By the way you're using a very out of date joomla - v2.5 that was retired 10 years ago.

Thank you both for your help. Having been thrown into this work and this client's site with no training, I needed that explanation. Hopefully, our web people will be updating the sites.
