Not Seeing Page Template in the dropdown

  • I am a newbie for wordpress templating and trying to create a template for one of my pages. but when i create the page or edit the page i don’t see this newly created templated. Can somebody tell me what are the points i should look for.

    Any help is highly appreciated.

  • Small steps = big distance!

    Key is the opening lines of the template page, just after the opening PHP tag.

    To test open from the parent theme, page.php, save this as page-test.php and make the fist lines look like this, dont change anything else yet, small steps, test the new page.

    <?php
/*
 Template Name: My Template
*/

    That is all there is, the new page should now appear in the template dropdown, carry on in small steps making your other changes.
