 * I have taken over a website from a previous developer and i have not created 
   templates before . He had created a template to be used on some pages. I would
   like to use the base of this template, modified for a new set of pages . I have
   copied the .php file, changed the template name , ftp’d it back to the template
   folder with a different name in the child theme . When i go to create a new page
   in admin and click the template drop down only the default and original appears–
   not mynew-
    theme / child / page-templates / original-template.php mynew-template.
   php
 * The original theme is blankslate , with a blankslate-child being the active template,
   i have uploaded to the child them folder
 * Is there something else i need to do to get this to show in the templates selection.
 * Any suggestions would be welcome

   i have uploaded to the child them folder
    that should read The original theme
   is blankslate , with a blankslate-child being the active **THEME**** , i have
   uploaded to the child ****THEME** folder
