    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.
