 * Hi htmlBurger,
 * How do I set default template while making filed? My deafault template is page.
   php and I code like below but it seems to be not working
 * ->show_on_template(array(“home.php”,”page.php”, “blog.php”,”twocolumn.php”))
 * and why I have to use ->show_on_post_type(‘page’) to show options in in selected
   template? I have to use this one because only show_on_template is not working.
 * Please let me know.

 * Hi [@knath632](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knath632/),
 * When you want to set your container to the default template, use `default`, like
   this:
 *     ```
       ->show_on_template('default')
       ```
   
 * and if you want you can use it with an array of templates, like this:
 *     ```
       ->show_on_template(array("home.php", 'default', "blog.php", "twocolumn.php"))
       ```
