    Hi,

    I have one page that needs to differ from the other pages. I’d like to just modify a copy of my page.php template but how do I get WP to know to use the alternate template to render that particular page?

    I’ve done 3 WP sites now in versions 2.8 and 2.9 and have never seen the “Page Template” drop down box which is referenced in the codex and other tutorials and it’s not in the screen options menu.

    Thanks!
    James

  • That’s a choice on the actual “Create/Edit page” admin section. Look in the sidebar on the right.

    Thanks, annedorko! I didn’t find a sidebar on the right (odd since there’s nothing unchecked in my screen options) but i did find the template menu in the “Quick Edit” section. Thanks so much for pointing me to the correct page.
