Template Pages won't show up

    Hi guys,

    I’m fairly new to WordPress and relatively inexperienced (I’ve done a few installations in the past though…)

    The problem I’m facing right now is that after the WordPress installation, I’m able to download / activates themes, however their template pages are not visible. The only available page I have in the system is one simple blogish “Sample Page”.

    Despite that, when I check the linux folders all the pages of the template are there, nothing is missing, they just don’t show up in the admin panel.

    My system is Ubuntu 14.04 and the latest wordpress. I’ve tried reinstalling from scratch – on AWS – but nothing. I also tried a bunch of different templates, nothing again.

    Any clues?

    Thanks in advance.

    A WordPress page is a type of post. A theme template is a file created to display a WordPress page in a particular way. The Sample Page you’re seeing is a default page set up on installation. It’s content pulled from your database and displayed using a template. Probably page.php.

    Your theme may have custom page templates. You can choose which one to use in the page/post editor. Look over on the right.

    Thank you it worked!

    Other themes have their own page templates and content preset, so you can bring up demo content easily. I had to recreate the home page for the theme I use from scratch and was confused since I am not an experienced user.
