 * When editing any page, I’m unable to select a Theme on the drop down menu because
   the menu is missing from the Page Attribute box.
    I’ve ticked the Page Attribute
   in the Screen Options. Please advise.
 * This is a recent BUG and is the same regardless of the theme activated and regardless
   of the domain used.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You don’t select themes in Pages – you select Page templates. The dropdown is
   not shown unless your current theme contains at least 1 custom page template 
   file as well as the default page.php file. Not all theses have custom page template
   files.

 * Right…I meant Template and NOT Theme. Sorry. ‘I’m unable to select a template
   on the drop down menu. My theme has 6 custom page template files.
 * I’ve built many sites using wordpress and custom themes. The drop down menu just
   disappeared.
 * (Thanks for your fast reply, though…)

 * Since this may be related to your other topic, perhaps it would be better if 
   the discussion was kept to there for now?
