 * Hi,
 * I’ve nearly completed my WP website except for one issue. When you create a new
   WordPress page (e.g. contact us or privacy policy) it uses the blog template 
   I have i.e. it attaches social bookmarks and an author link (i.e. admin).
 * However, I previous had some help a developer created Pages without the bookmarks
   or the author link but I do not know how he managed to do this! When I create
   a new page it still applies the links, which is not ideal.
 * Any help would be much appreciated as I’m keen to get the website up and running
   now 🙂
 * Thanks

 * Edit one of your new pages, look to the right, where it says “template”. Look
   in the drop-down box and see if the page template he made for you is listed there.
   If it is, apply the template to your page and save. That should do it, assuming
   the page he created for you had a unique template name, and is present in the
   theme.
 * Good luck!

 * Hi ClaytonJames,
 * I tried that but the drop down menu only has the following choices:
 * – Default Template
    – Arhcive Pages
 * Do you have any other ideas?
 * Thanks

 * I forgot to close this down. This was resolved. The developer had created an 
   if statement in the index.php file. I just simply had to add the page id in the
   conditional statement.
 * Thanks
