  • Is this for a post or a page where you would like to apply a template?

    My experience is that control does not appear until a template actually exists in the theme folder, as determined by this code at the very top of the file:

    <?PHP
/*
	Template Name: your-template-name
*/
?>

    If it is for posts you will need to add some custom functions or use a plugin.

    Make sure that you are using a child theme for ANY modifications to twentythirteen –

    Otherwise all your changes will be lost when WP is updated and it’s also very important to have an unmodified copy of the default theme for troubleshooting.

    You need to use a child theme. Do not modify the default theme.. That’s going to create big problems for you when WP is updated and you lose all your changes.

    You can do it if you click on Quick Edit when you hover over the page title. The drop down menu is there.

    WPyogi, I usually use one of the base templates and tear it apart to code my custom theme, so the child theme suggestion is not always relevant. I like sandeep was is in the same position. I have a bunch of templates for specific pages and the drop down isn’t showing. I’m trying to see where that’s failing in the theme file.

    **UPDATE**
    I simply added a folder called templates and added my templates with the template code and the drop down appeared in the sidebar. You may not have to add the templates folder, it just worked for me.

    so the child theme suggestion is not always relevant.

    The child theme suggestion is ALWAYS relevant when referring to the current default theme.

    the drop down isn’t showing

    Try reviewing custom page templates. And use a child theme!

    The child theme suggestion is ALWAYS relevant when referring to the current default theme.

    I would agree with that. I was just having a similar issue when just using the theme as a base for my own code.

    Thank you disinfor! This answer wasn’t as easy to find as you’d expect.
