WordPress not detecting template

  • When I add .html templates in /theme/templates, from the admin pannel it detects them properly, however when I add .php templates it does not.

    I’ve also tried writing the name like this:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Test Page
*/

echo "test page";

    And Also tried putting it in the root of the theme.

    It just does not detect them.

    Help very much appreciated

    Regards,

    Just saw it detects them but only for Pages, not Posts.

    Any way to use it for Posts?

    With classic themes, there’s a specific way to get certain templates used for certain posts by how they are named. But FSE/block themes use a different paradigm. Block themes are still unexplored territory for me, but from looking at Twenty twentythree theme’s file structure, the way we should introduce PHP into a template is via patterns. The main template in /templates/ refers to a template part in /parts/. The template part can then refer to a PHP pattern.

    Maybe a main template can directly refer to a pattern without an intervening part, IDK? looks a little further… yup, we can.

    How to get a specific template used for certain posts? Again, I know how in classic themes, but I’m as lost as you are with block themes. I think the answer lies here:
