    I’ve also used follwoing coment on the top of the new template files.
    <?php
    /**
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Default_Theme
    */

    /* Template Name: abc
    */
    ?>

  • Should be in the format:

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

    Then change to the default theme and then back to your custom theme, then you should see your template pages.

    Go to edit posts and delete that post.

    Thank you songdogtech,

    But i dont have custom theme. i am using default theme.

    If at first you don’t see your custom templates, the fix is to swtich to any other theme, then switch back to your custom theme.
