I made a new page and want it basically blank so I can just add a few pictures. I made a new Page Template and selected it, but the page shows up as a post with attachments that I didn't attach.
Here's the template:
<?php
/*
Template Name: PhotosPage
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="site_content">
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>and the page:
GrenadeGearUSA.com/colors
any idea what is wrong?
You need to add at the very least <?php the_content(): ?> tag
<div id="site_content">
<?php the_content(): ?>
</div>

I added that but it didn't change anything.
I've just looked at the page source of grenadegearusa.com/colors and you're not using the template there if the content of that page is per HTML structure you posted above as Photospage page template.
Edit "Colors" page and go to right sidebar, choose Photospage in Page Templates dropdown and click "Update"

The Page Attributes are as follows:
Parent: (no parent)
Template: PhotosPage
Order: 0
What confuses me is when I try different templates and update the page, nothing changes.
Change theme to default twentyten theme. Edit Colors page and change page template "One column, no sidebar", update page and see how it's working in your installation. If the template doesn't work for you, you will need to re-upload WP files to your server because your install is not working right.

I just tried that and there is no side bar but it still shows up as a post that people can comment on. It also shows my "COLORS" header button as an attachment, any idea why?
I think I may just start over...
but it still shows up as` a post that people can comment on.
... because commenting is on. You can change setting sitewide or change comment settings in individual Page or Post.

Good luck.

Well I'm using the same layout for another site and the "PhotosPage" template produces a page that does not act as a post: janchristianphoto.com/photos
The same settings (as far as I can tell) are used for both sites but the Grenade Gear one is behaving differently.
GrenadeGear Colors page is now using the Photospage Page Template unlike yesterday. Clear server and browser cache. It looks like you added content already

Yeah yesterday morning I "fixed" it, I don't know how though. Since it was the "Colors.png" that kept showing up as an attachment, I went to its "update media" page, filled in some alternate text, caption, etc. then clicked update. After that, the colors page worked fine. Weird!
Thanks for your help
Cool :-)
