WordPress MU

Hi,

I am having trouble using the "Page Template" option when creating a page. Though I set it to "Comments" or "Archives" it changes back to "Default Template" after I click "Edit Page".

I am not sure how to proceed.

Thanks!

same here.

That option is IF you have specific template in the theme you are using, for a specific kind of page.

Please see this for more info:

thanks andrea_r

so basically guys the answer is add this to the top of any template you put into your themes folder.

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

Not any template, just a copy of the Pages template with any extra code you need to show.

For example, to show a Page that lists all blog on your system, in the theme folder of your choice (disable it so only you can use it) make a copy of page.php, assuming you want it to look the same.

Put that code at the top. Add in the middle, instead of The Loop (all that code that creates the posts) add the php call to the list all blog plugin.

Save it.

Go to the Write Page area. Tyep ina title, choose that template from the list on the right and (this is important) don't type any text in the post area. Save.

That should do it.

Yup thats what I did.
Thank you though.
