   Hi there,
   I'm looking to use multiple page templates on my blog so that I may have a different sidebar in use on each page.

   I have done this before with a previous version, but I cannot seem to figure it out for 2.6.

   I have a second page made, called "pageabout.php" - at the top of that pages' code I have:
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: About Page
   */
   ?>

   That used to be all it took to have the page template show up in a drop down box I could choose from when I am editing the page in WordPress. I cannot seem to locate that drop down box anymore.

   I read something like this in this forum once. I remember that one solution which worked was changing to default theme, going to the Write>Page and saw that dropdown box was there. After that, changed Design back to custom theme and checked Write>Page and the dropdown box was back on. The theme had nothing to do with Admin backend, but it worked. Good luck.

   Mercime,
   This is the third time you've helped me on these boards. I am really, really freaking appreciative. I actually also read that somewhere on these boards last week, forgot and was glad you reminded me. THANK YOU!
