Alternate Page Template

  • I’m reading the codex and I’m having problems understanding what it is saying.
    I’m using page.php from the “Neuron” template as an alternate page templage for my site.

    I added the lines to the beginning of the page:
    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: altpage
    */
    ?>
    I saved it in my current “Theme” directory. I went to Manage=> Page in the admin panel and selected “altpage” as the page template for the page I want to have display this style.

    I don’t see any changes.

    In the “Neuron” template: page.php – there is the following:
    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
    I’m assuming I would have to add similar information to my CSS in order for this page to display as intended. Is that right?

    In the “Neuron” css file, there isn’t anything listed as “narrowcolumn”. I see the “content” but nothing of the other.

    What am I missing here?

  • you can’t put in css values that don’t exist, if they don’t exist you have to create them. Additionally if your template is the same as another template, you won’t see any changes, unles you modify the templkate, simply changing the template header will not work.

    OK,
    Here is my homepage.
    If I create a “Page”, it looks just like my homepage.
    I want my “Pages” to have the single “White” sidebar but not the “Blue” center bar.
    There are 2 images involved: The “hd.jpg” and the “bg.jpg”. I’ve modified both of these.
    I’ve read the Codex, I’ve done the searches… I’m lost. Everything I’ve tried does nothing.
    How do I make a “Page” template that will do what I want? Any suggestions?
