    I've created a custom page template (all it does is display the page without the page title) ... but I can't access it when i'm adding/editing pages.

    When I click on Quick Edit there is nothing listed in the Template drop down box.

    Any suggestions?

    Review the instructions on this Codex page.

    ah ... all i am missing is those first few lines:

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

    great, thanks esmi

    Similar problem. I've followed all of the procedures and have the correct code as you've described above.

    I think my whole php custom layout page for no sidebars is correct. It works on my local host version of WP; there I get the page template dropdown options box. However I get a slightly garbled page, altho with no sidebar. Does this mean my php page isn't accurate?

    When I try to upload the template file via FTP to my BlueHost server, I get no template options. I've tried logging out and back in after the upload, still no options box.

    Any suggestions?
