I don't have a file named custom1.php... It's a template that's here:
/blocks/defunct_testimonials/templates/custom1/view.php
This template works when applied to the block's "custom templates" menu... Should it not work when calling the 'render' method?
/blocks/defunct_testimonials/templates/custom1/view.php

Try
/blocks/defunct_testimonials/templates/custom1.php
/blocks/defunct_testimonials/templates/custom1.php
That seems to have worked! Many thanks for your help.
When I had created custom templates before I thought it had to be that path/format... "[root]/blocks/block_name/templates/template_name/view.php"
So, did this change at some point in the last couple years? Or is this something unique to packages as opposed to regular blocks?

Cool, thanks again!
Where did you put your custom1.php file?
