Very useful, thanks again Christine.
That works perfectly, thank you so much Christine!
Well hot diggedy dig! I just continued reading this Codex page:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Page_Templates
and I’d missed that I needed to add this to my page template (I’d copied the Water Lily page.php template into my child theme):
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/
I’ve done this, overwritten the old version et voilà, I can now assign page templates.
This makes for one happy bunny 🙂
