• I am trying to create a custom page template and uploaded it to the appropreate folder trough FTP client and it is there with all the other temp files when viewing through FTP but if I got to the Appearance editor it is not there?

    I double checked the “snarfer” php template sample on this very site but it isn’ there?

    Where is gods name is it?

    Driving me to drink, not that is a bad thing but I would like t figure this out.

  • with all the other temp files

    Is this in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/ ? If it’s in a sub folder, like /wp-content/themes/your-theme/page-templates/ then it wont show in the appearance editor. It will only show files in the root of the theme folder.

    No sub folder file goes into /wp-content/themes/my theme/

    It is there when I view it through my desktop and web based FTP client

    I uploaded the file to other themes and it does not show up there either

    file permissions are set at 644

    Not sure if this is a WP issue or hosting issue but every other file I upload shows up so why not this one?

    Pain in the BUTT it is.

    Code in the file so far is as follows

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

    <?php get_header();?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Oh ya… I also did the activate another theme and reactivate my theme and still no go.

    Do you see the template appear in the Page Attributes meta box on the edit-page screen?

    Nope, it does not show up there either?

    Could it something other than a WP glitch?

    I am not sure how it could be a server side issue because all other files I upload show up?

    What happens if, for the sake of testing, you copy that custom page template file into Twenty Eleven, and then activate Twenty Eleven? Do you see the template in the page attributes meta box?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back… Nope it does not show up there either.

    I had one of my hot shot web developing students take a look and he is stumped too.

    Driving me NUTS!

    What is the name of the file you created?
