# Blockify templates not selectable

 * After accepting a recent update, the only templates listed in the Template drop-
   down when creating / editing a page are:
 * Default template
    Blank Full Width
 * All the Blockify templates are shown in the Full Site Editor (Appearance > Editor
   > Themes Editor > Templates) but not in the drop down:
 * 404
    Archive Blank Front Page Full Width Index Page Search Single
 * Created my own templates based on these, with different names, but not sure why
   the Blockify templates are no longer selectable. Is there a limit to the number
   of templates that can appear in the Templates drop down when creating / editing
   a page?

 * Something strange is definitely afoot with selectable templates, not only in 
   the parent theme, but also in the child theme generated using Create Block Theme
   plugin.
 * Same three templates are selectable in the child theme:
    Default template Blank
   Full Width
 * Starting to think creating my own templates might be causing this issue?

 * Hi [@exelexys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exelexys/),
 * The following core templates are only shown in the Site Editor:
 *     ```
       404
       Archive
       Front Page
       Index
       Search
       Single
       ```
   
 * These templates are used by WordPress for the specific pages. Only the custom
   page templates are selectable when editing a page or post.
 * If you require more page templates, you will also need to add them to the **customTemplates**
   section of the theme.json file, e.g:
 *     ```
       "customTemplates": [
           {
             "title": "Blank",
             "name": "blank",
             "postTypes": [
               "page",
               "post"
             ]
           },
           {
             "title": "Full Width",
             "name": "full-width",
             "postTypes": [
               "page",
               "post"
             ]
           }
         ],
       ```
   
 * I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
