Hey, Im doing a new theme and I want to use a custom page template, the only problem is that I don’t have the drop down menu for the templates..im using wordpress 2.9 with starkers theme for the base of my theme.

Yep I put it there, i have used custom page templates before with previous versions of wp. I don’t know whats different now

I got it fixed, it was a combination of not naming the default page.php and also using theme switch, its all good now though thanks for the help doc
