WordPress bug Alert!

While working on a client web site recently I ran into a disturbing problem. The site I was working on I had to make several page templates, as I normally do. I mean, let’s face it the power of WordPress page templates is an awesome thing in theme design and customization, but I digress…that would be another article altogether and one that perhaps I should venture into in the near future. So back to the point at hand, while I made my page template and it worked and looked exactly the way I wanted it to I got my favorite FTP client, Filezilla, fired up. I promptly uploaded my page and went to set it up in WordPress, only I had a serious problem when I got the page started. I was unable to set the page to use my new page template I had just made. The reason? There was no dropdown to even choose a page template from. It was as if it had just disappeared or was suddenly removed from WordPress completely.

Well, I knew they could not have removed such a powerful and beneficial feature from WordPress. So I did my usual yelling at the computer God whomever that may be, then pulled what little hair I have left out, and finally I went to the one savior of information I had…Google. Behold I found my answer, and then felt stupid for looking and wished I had discovered it as well. Want to know the big fix? Ok, without further delay here it is, the answer to fix the WordPress crushing bug!

1. Switch your current them to any other theme
2. Switch it back to the theme you wish to use and voila! The page templates are back! =)

Yeah, I know…I felt really stupid after finding this out but hey at least it is a really easy fix for now. If anyone finds out this does not work for them please let us know here so we can look into it. Share your information.
