    Okay guys, a week ago I made some template pages and i managed to upload them and use them without any problems at all…

    I wanted to add a forum so i used the bbpress plugin for it and it sadly changed to theme i was using, which wasnt a big problem because i easily changed back to the one i was using (easel) and to make sure everyone was running smoothly i deactived and deleted the forum plugin

    buuuuut now all of my pages that i was using a template for went back to default and whenever i try to select the template page from the drop down it doesnt even show up! although i am still able to edit them in the appearance> editor

    Ive tried using a different template them switch back to the one i want to use, ive tried reuploading, ive made sure they template files are in the right place, ive checked my code and i know it works… i just cant select it from the drop down menu! I even reset my database and tried doing it from the scratch but NOTHING!

    Could someone please help!

  • Between the time they were working and now, did you happen to upgrade to WordPress 3.4?

    If so, there is a small bug with template files in 3.4 where this syntax will no longer work:

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

    You need to put the template name on its own line, like this:

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

    This should be fixed in the next release, but this is a simple workaround for now.

    Let me know if this helps or if something else may be going on.
