How do I select which template to use for my page?

  • I’m now on WP 2.6, but I remember before when I went to add a Page, I could always select the Template to use.

    I’ve created a few templates but can’t access them through my Admin portal.

    Why can I not choose a template for my new pages now?

    Thanks.

  • Principle should be the same. You select a template at the bottom of the “Write” screen.

    The dropdown options I have are………..

    Custom Fields
    Comments & Pings
    Password protect this Page
    Page Parent
    Page Order
    Page Revisions

    Nothing else ??

    It should be right between Parent and Order. Perhaps your theme only has one template? You could try to switch themes.

    OK. Good shout.

    Just for the record, to create a template I’d use the following code:

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

<?php get_header(); ?>

Corporate STYLEE

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    and upload it into wp-content/themes/newdefault , obviously the ‘newdefault’ is my default theme.

    In my original ‘default’ theme I can select different template, but not in my new one ??

    Thanks

    I just copied the ‘default’ folder, renamed it ‘newdefault’ , uploaded it, made it my main default theme and now can’t select different Templates for my Pages ??
