 * Hi my templates dropdown suddenly disappeared from the admin. It used to work
   and all templates are in theme folder. I have WPML on this site.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Careers
       Version: 1.0.1
       */
       get_header(); ?> 
       ```
   
 * 1. Tried disabling all cache plugins
    2. Tried this [https://github.com/connorlacombe/WP-Clear-File-Cache](https://github.com/connorlacombe/WP-Clear-File-Cache)
   3. Updated everything to latest
 * Still it’s gone. How to get it back… heelp!

 * [@leadsoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leadsoft/) hey thanks it was 
   actually issue in style.css (defined as parent theme) so clearing that up fixed
   the issue.
