    Hopefully, the last post I’ll be putting up for help today. Doubtful though, with all the great support i’ve been getting. This one is in relation to previous post, and a simple question…

    Where is the drop down box for setting page specific templates? I don’t have that box, and a lot of help files i’m reading keep referring to it.

    Am i correct in assuming that the homepage template itself, must allow for other templates?

    Next task, figure how to use different templates for different pages.

    [please use a more descriptive title]

    Where is the drop down box for setting page specific templates?

    this is an area ‘page attributes’ normally on the right of the ‘edit page’ page;
    if it is not visible, you may need to click ‘screen options’ near the top right on this page, and tick the ‘page attributes’ tickbox.

    Checked out your link and your instructions, neither work. I’m presuming this is due my template having a missing stylesheet error, i’ve already queried how to troubleshot this problem, or that the template doesn’t allow this option…

    Switching to default template to see if the option to use different templates for different pages is available on the wp default theme.

    Wow, i have some crap themes… now i know why people buy themes. Of all the cosmetically appealing themes i uploaded (about 6) the only one i can change the individual page theme with, is the default wp theme. So, i guess that answers my question. *sigh* Gotta find better themes.

    I checked out some “premium” themes and they actually show previews of the various pages. Ok, its my themes. Lol

    Sorry, i kept forgetting to send this post. Have like 10 tabs open in my browser and referring to lots of different stuff.

    Think i found my solution. Thanks for the input and help WP!
