  • You should be able to find the page template in wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/page.php. If you’re using a child theme, you can copy the page.php into it to modify it. Otherwise, you have to modify the original.

    Hi Justin,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I’m new with wordpress and my english is low at the moment.

    I can edit page.php but i want to make a template for several pages, I would like to “create a template” and on some pages assign it. When I edit a page, in the right menu under state and visibility, there is a section named “Template” actually i can select “default template” “Twentig – No title”, “twentig – no header”,… because I have Twentig plug in.

    Maybe I say “page’s template” and there is another term to say this kind of templates.

    I understand I can assign a template (php) to a page name for example, but I would like to use a template selecting it in the right menu.

    Yes, you can create custom page templates too. Here is the handbook guide for working with page templates: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/

    Specifically, you will want to read this section: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/#creating-custom-page-templates-for-global-use

    Essentially, you can copy your existing page.php template file and rename it to something like example.php. Then, at the top of that file, add this code:

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

    Then, make any code adjustments that you want to make.

    You can put the example.php page template in the root of your theme (or child theme, preferably) folder. Or, you can create a sub-folder, such as /page-templates and put it in there.
