    I have a new site and the Spectra One theme looks beautiful. However, I have confirmed that the Page templates dropdown disappears when the Spectra One theme is active. Every new page is set to ‘Page’ and cannot be changed.

    I’m running WP 6.2, no active plugins, and the .05 spectra theme. If I activate another theme, the Page Templates dropdown comes back, so it seems to be the theme.

    I’m looking forward to using this once I can change the templates (I really want that Home template! Its very well done)

    Full Site Editing (FSE) themes work a little differently. To use the Home template you wouldn’t create a Page called “Home” and it edit it there. You would go to Appearance > Editor > Templates and edit the Home template there.

    The default WordPress FSE theme includes multiple Page templates, but Spectra One only includes 1, which is why you don’t see that dropdown.

    To add your own custom Page template, you go to Appearance > Editor > Templates > click the + in the top right and click “Custom Template”. Then it will appear in the Page dropdown for you to use.

    Thank you @chrisbegley – this was a good clue as to how to update my WordPress skills! For anyone who happens to stumble across this in the future, I found this YouTube video a good resource for understanding how to work with Block Elements and the Spectra One theme in particular:
