    Hi,

    For some time I have been experiencing a bug with WordPress not showing the Page Templates dropdown on the page editor. I have been able to resolve this by deactivating and reactivating my theme. Not sure why this worked, but it was suggested in threads here and sure enough it works.

    Now, I have upgraded to WordPress 3.4 and everything else being the same but now the technique above no longer works to restore the Page Template dropdown. I have no way to use page templates now at all.

    Any thoughts?

    This solution worked for me…. you have to declare the template name on a dedicated row.
    The firts lines of php pages from the theme folder that you loaded

    I mean
    Home/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME

    From:
    <?php /* Template Name: Enquire / ?>
    To:
    <?php
    /* Template Name: Enquire */
    ?>

    i changed from the theme that works in this way and came back normally.
    whatch out the empty spaces after the php an before of ?>

    Thanks for your help/ideas

    Unfortunately Home/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME (with our them put in) goes to a 404 page…

    You need to replace YOURTHEME with the folder name for your current theme.

    Hi esmi & thx – Did just try with our folder name to try: [our url]/home/wp-content/themes/wpnewspaper15 and still show 404 on our site

    What url? We’re talking about accessing a theme’s folder by Ftp.

    usually do all editing code via cpanel instead of FTP. Looking at numerous files under our theme / wpnewspaper15 / inside the theme folder… which file does the code need to be inserted into?
    thx again

    Do you know what a custom Page template is?

    Hi & thx again. Not sure… are you meaning a custom field for a template? Never have used/done this.

    We are using one of the Gabfire themes.

    No – a custom Page template. See custom page template.

    I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.

    Should I create a new file (page) for a custom page template inside the wpnewspaper15 folder (I’m still in cpanel)?
