How do I use my new Page template?

    I believe I understand how to structure a page template but how do I utilize it after it’s created? How is it included?

    I’m referring to a visual diagram outlining the structure. I understand that a template page supercedes the others. I’ve uploaded a template page. What do I do next?

    Then I must have something incorrect. There isn’t a Template drop box available to choose my template. If the page is not set up properly does that prevent the drop box from showing? I’ve looked at some other themes where the drop box is there. My work in development isn’t showing one. Thanks for your help.

    The very first thing in your new page template should look like this:

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

    Fantastic. Thanks for that.

    You’re welcome. Good luck to you!

    That was exactly the info I was looking for too. Thank you!
