    I’m uploading new custom templates to my public html folder and deleting old custom templates from it as well, but when I go into Dashboard>Edit Pages>Quick Edit, the new templates aren’t listed in the Template drop down and the old templates continue to appear there. What’s going on? How do I get WordPress to update the templates in the template file? I’ve done all the file management housekeeping using both Filezilla and my Host’s file management program, but WordPress isn’t reflecting the changes I’ve made and updated.

    Is there a limit on how many custom templates can be listed in WP?

    Here’s something else that I don’t understand. When I go into Dashboard>Appearance>Editor, there’s the list of php files listed down the right side of the page. That list is correctly updated and shows the actual contents of my Template folder. Why the disconnect between that correct list and the drop-down options in Quick Editor?

    Okay, I might have found the beginning of an answer to my question in the Help: “If a custom page exists, but you still are not able to see Page Template selector, try to re-activate your current theme.”

    Mmmm…okay…

    How do I reactivate my current theme? When I go into Appearance>Themes, my current theme is displayed, but there seems to be no option to reactivate. (I tried activating a different theme, and then activated my current theme, but that didn’t work.)

    Gee, this is frustrating.

    Never mind – I’ll figure it out.

    Got it! User error is the usual culprit.
