   Hi,

   I use a template which uses page.php to display static pages (not posts). The problem is that I have 3 pages which each need to have a separate page.php. I know which pages these are so I can hardcode it if needed, but how I do make WP understand what I want?

   First, creating your templates if you don't have them yet.
   Page.php is the default page. Get that, replicate it and rename it; creating:
   page_templateA.php
   page_templateB.php
   page_templateC.php
   Now on top of those pages, you'll probably see this code
   <?php get_header(); ?> add this code above that and on every page you created. *use different names for each.
   

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

   Upload the pages to your server/ within your theme files.
   Now, go to edit your pages and under the "page attributes" > Templates > use the dropdown to select the template you created > update your page.
