 * [@redlinemd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redlinemd/),
 * I’m getting the same problem. I’ve created my theme template correctly, but the
   drop down doesn’t show up in the Page Write panel.
 * When I switch to the default wp theme, the issue goes away. Switching back does
   nothing.
 * Also, I’m using the WP-Framworks theme as starting point.
 * any help would be appreciated.
 * EDIT: For some reason the syntax in the WP-Framework files didn’t include ‘Name’
   when naming templates. As in:
    /* Template Name: test */
 * vs.
 * /* Template: test */
 * Hope this helps for others.
