Following instructions to the letter, I created two custom page templates. Then, I created two pages. One of them displays both templates in the dropdown box, but the other doesn’t. Have read countless posts in Google and the Forum, to no avail. Please, help!
]]>Let me check if I understand you correctly, if I may.
(1) You relied on guidance from the www.ads-software.com codex to create two custom templates and added them to your theme in your WordPress install.
(2) Within the WordPress dashboard of that site, you created two separate pages.
(3) Within that dashboard, you can apply your two new custom templates to one of those new pages, but not to the other.
Is that correct?
If so, (and I know this is silly) but you have saved both pages? And they are both pages (that is one is a page but the other is a post, for example)?
]]>You may want to consider your page/template/PHP file naming approach. WordPress relies on a template hierarchy to determine where/how to display content on the front of a site. If you visit the page below, you’ll find more information on this topic.
