 * So the weirdest thing – I have a custom theme, and I’m in the process of transferring
   from one server to another.
    Everything is going well, all posts and pages showing
   properly, but the pages are no displaying properly, and the dropdown menu to 
   select the page template has disappeared. However, if I go to Quick Edit it is
   there. But even if I choose a template in Quick Eit and update the page, the 
   template is not used for the page. I have tried everything I can think of – –
   changed to twentyeleven and then back to the custom theme – checked to make sure
   that I have the right code in the template’s php file: <?php /* Template Name:
   custom */ ?>
 * – deleted and reinstalled the custom theme
    – reinstalled WordPress itself
 * I am at a loss to understand why the templates menu is not showing up.
