Can someone please point me in the right direction regarding the location of the template file that contains the blogs posts loop I’m using the blog element.
I've tried multiple files but it does not work, Would ideally like to add a link after the meta information
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check index.php,archive.php,search.php files, find function method that used here to display posts, search for this method (or use IDE to find it fast) in theme directory files, in this method you will find how theme load template files. Avada is a complex theme with a lot of settings and different templates files for loop, that can load different templates dynamically depended on your current theme settings for design and layouts.

I trying to include two theme template files into a wp plugin that deals with custom post types and for the life of me cant figure out a way to do it, I have searched extensively and believe posting here is the best option if I am to find an answer.
The custom post type is videos which is using single-video.php as the single template and category-253.php for the category and am wanting to move them from the child theme into the plugin/includes/templates directory so the plugin is independent.
Anyone have any ideas ?
this should cover what you are looking for
http://tommcfarlin.com/page-template-in-plugin/
but as far as plugin integration, you can try the shortcode method to display template codes from plugins
[myshortcode parm=1 parm=2 parm=3]
to do something in a plugin like for example list your custom post with different options
I am building a plugin for the first time and I have setup my rewrite rules to call a PHP file I have located in my plugin folder and this is working but all I have it output just now is "test"
I wanted to ask, is there is a way of pulling in the existing theme and using this as the basis for the page, then I can have my plugin just output the page content area so to speak.
My plugin is quite big in terms of the amount of data it handles so I would like to be able to use a menu link to the aforementioned file and this file can then output all the sub pages of content but still using the default theme (theme I have made) and fill the content area only is this possible and if so is there anything to explain this already available because I couldn't see it.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Edit: I have tried including a file from my current theme but this will give me a 500 error so I assume its not as simple as this.
Have you thought about using custom post types for your plugin content rather than relying on custom tables and separate code?
Other than that, you could use a shortcode (just one) and have users insert that into a regular WP page, the shortcode then displays all of your various plugin stuff.
It's hard to be more specific without understanding why you've done it this way.
is there any way to include a custom template from a folder inside my plugin page into the Wordpress system so that when I, for example create a new page/post, it can show as one of the template choices other than default of course.
I have seen this link here WP - Use file in plugin directory as custom Page Template? but does not seem to talk about the stage were Wordpress checks for custom templates in the themes directory and how to make it look else where.
It's not in the documentation because WordPress doesn't look elsewhere. Your best bet would be to create a template page in your theme folder, call it what you want, and then use include() to pull the contents of your template file in the plugins directory into the file in your theme directory, which would allow WordPress to see it.
I think the only other way to accomplish this would be to mess with Core, which is very bad practice.
Hi I'm new to wordpress I have been working on a theme I would like to have the original category.php file that needs to get added on the theme? I have tried to copy a category.php file from a theme that was created on the core of wordpress but the body is missing, where can I find the original category.php file template that will be used by wordpress when it is not being defined on my theme?
version: wordpress 3.5.1
As templates are going to have theme specific markup, you'll need to make revisions to any file that you plan on copying over if you want the page to work with your theme.
A simpler solution is to copy your page.php file and replace your post loop with that of the categories loop. This will allow you to easily maintain your site's design without having to rework any markup and can be accomplished pretty quickly by copy/pasting a category loop snippet.
A great starting place to see how these loops are structured is the WP twentytwelve theme found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/twentytwelve
Much greater documentation can also be found in the codex here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
Template files are stored in:
/wp-content/themes/<theme_name>/
You can copy the category template from a theme, but then it wouldn't look like it's a part of your theme though and might be badly styled because of missing CSS rules.
I have a page in HTML(index.html), and a folders named images, css, js that used in it.
Now i have to do this in WordPress. Is there any plug in to convert Html to WordPress or any other way to do this in WordPress? Please help me.. i'm a beginner in WordPress.
I am not sure of a direct way to implement a HTML page into a WordPress theme, but if you have made header and footer files for your website, then all you need to do is convert them to make them WordPress compatible.
You should refer to the codex.
You can also go for any of the WordPress frameworks listed here.
A WordPress theme is easy to understand if you know basic PHP. It has a set of files like
header.php // header file
footer.php // footer file
index.php // the index file
page.php // for your WP pages
single.php // for your WP posts
and some other files
Go through the codex and it shouldn't take long to get the hang of it.
