Template upload from dreamweaver.

Try reviewing Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates.

I tried this but when i uploaded it to my host it did not show up under my templates drop down. Could there be a problem between my host and wordpress?

It’s far more likely that there’s a problem with your page template file.

I have everything from that page done correctly in my template file and have saved it under my twenty eleven theme folder. I then uploaded it. Is there something I am missing.

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

When it says go to your dashboard and upload your child theme I cannot find where my child theme is at? Am I looking in the correct spot? Thanks

Is the child theme on your computer? If so, use the browser button to find and upload it.

Sorry, what did you mean “it does not appear under my templates drop down” ?

Under the “pages” in the wordpress dashboard if you go to quick edit there is the option for templates. When I click on that it has the standard templates but mine do not show up there.

One of my friends built a site through wordpress and is able to just create a template page in dreamweaver, upload it and then it is in the templates drop down.

Are you sure you already put this code in your file?


<?php
/*
Template Name: Snarfer
*/
?>


Yes i put that code in the file. Unless I put it in the incorrect file. Im supposed to create a whole new .php file for it and save it under the theme correct?

Yes.
