I’d like to create a new template page, separate from the two pre-defined page templates offered. I am using a child theme of Newspaper. When I create the new template file, I don’t see it in the page template dropdown. Is this possible to create??
Did you follow the normal procedure, per the WordPress codex, for making new page or post templates?
I did. When I upload the custom template file; I don’t see it as an option. Here is an example of what I did:
page-custom.php -> The opening code:
<?php
/* Template Name: Custom Template */
?>
When I log into my WP Admin, I don’t see that template in the dropdown.
I think your custom template name needs to be one word, and that should also be template filename… at least that works for me. Must go in main template folder not child theme.
