# page.php doesn´t work

 * Recently I experimented a really weird bug, every time I try to view a page doesn
   ´t shows the page.php template use index.php, I thought could be some functions.
   php hacks I´m using (typical ones, login logo, remove dashboard widgets, etc)
   but even if I erase functions.php file the problem persist.
 * So, to check what happend I insert a function on the header.php of the theme 
   to see how it WP looks the content. The function I call is _if\_page_ located
   in wp-includes/themes.php.
    This is the answer if I get into a custom post type
   url:
 *     ```
       string(4) "home"
       bool(false)
       string(6) "single"
       bool(true)
       string(8) "category"
       bool(false)
       string(4) "page"
       bool(false)
       string(3) "tag"
       bool(false)
       ```
   
 * and this is the result of get into a page url:
 *     ```
       string(4) "home"
       bool(true)
       string(6) "single"
       bool(false)
       string(8) "category"
       bool(false)
       string(4) "page"
       bool(false)
       string(3) "tag"
       bool(false)
       ```
   
 * It should show _true_ on page but wont.
 * Any idea? I´m totally clueless :S 🙁
 * Thanx.

   plugins) so found some info about rewrite in wordpress and this code works for
   me:
