The Page Template dropdown will not appear unless you have at least 1 custom page template in your theme. If you’re quite sure that you do have custom templates, try:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.
– renaming the plugins folder via FTP
– reading http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279132
Thanks for the help Esmi.
I switched to the default wordpress theme and the Page Template Box did reappear.
I do have a Archive Page Templete, a file called archive.php
Is there a code or something I need to put in the file that tells wordpress its a custom page template?
Nevermind.
I found it here http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
Thank you again.
