8,738 PointsTemplate option does not show up.
In the video, when Zac is on the contact page, there is a template dropdown option to choose between "Default Template" and "Left Sidebar" within Page Attribute section. When I am on the page, there is no template dropdown option, just "parent" and "order". What am I doing wrong?
Here is my code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Left Sidebar
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<section class="two-column row no-max pad">
<div class="small-12 columns">
<div class="row">
<!-- Primary Column -->
<div class="small-12 medium-7 medium-offset-1 medium-push-4 columns">
<div class="primary">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no pages found' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Secondary Column -->
<div class="small-12 medium-4 medium-pull-8 columns">
<div class="secondary">
<h2 class="module-heading">Sidebar</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

6,736 PointsI had the same problem until I saw that in my page-sidebar-left.php file, in the comment where I was supposed to have "Template Name: Left Sidebar" I had misspelled it "Templante".
Might want to look for small errors like that.

4,307 PointsHi, I had the same problem, and you shouldn't put a space in front of the":" which gives this: /* Template Name: Left Sidebar */
