Drop-down in posts is empty

  • Hi,

    I first made the changes in:
    wp_content>plugins>wp-custom-post-template>wp-custom-post-template.php
    to make the plugin compatible for WordPress 4.2.2

    Then is settings, I checked off: Services

    When I go to a specific service, I see “WP Post Template” but there is no drop-down. I looked at the FAQ and so I copied the file, page-fullwidth.php, into the root directory of my website but still the drop-down is empty.

    So how do I get this to show templates in a drop-down that I can use?

    Thanks / Don

  • Hi.
    It works! We had to read the Installation tab first ?? And the auther should better write the exact code to copy and past for users if we have to change something in a template.

    So we need to open the single.php and past there

    <?php
/**
* WP Post Template: MyTamplate
*/
get_header(); ?>

    at the very top. My fist mistake was that I’ve left two times <?php and I’ve got a blank screen on in the post, Be careful.

    So than we save the file with any other name than the single.php and then we see in in the left menu in a new post.

    Hi, I don’t know much about html and I have no idea where to start here. I downloaded the plugin but don’t know where to go to upload the files with the templates. Also I need to create one file for each template, correct? And upload all of them?

    Thanks!

    I made the changes to the template as well after copying it to the theme root. However, the drop-down for posts is still empty.

    While I’m sure the plugin works for many, the documentation is so poor that I can;t spend any more time debugging. Sorry but I will look for another plugin to do this.
