How to get a Template page visible in the Page > Template menu

[CharlieL]

I am testing how to make a landing page. So I made a file: landing_c2-page.php that contain
the code for a full-width landing page. The file is on the web server in the enterprise-pro folder.
And it's called Template Name: Landing_C2.

I expected that the new template should be visible at the New Page > Templates menu, in the
drop-down list. But not. I must have missed something obvious. Even if I have read lots at
wordpress.org on this issue I am not clear about what is missing. Could you please advice me
to a tutorial or other stuff that makes it clear?

It should just work as described. Please post the comments from the template so we can understand the declarations.

Hi Victor Font,
The first lines of code are these:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Landing_C2
*/
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
 
/** Remove the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support) */
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
 
/** uncomment line below if you are using any after post widgets */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_after_post'  );

I saved your code with the same page name as yours to the Genesis Sample theme directory in my local environment and the template immediately displayed in the drop down. Something is going on in your environment that preventing the page from showing. The page template works.

Thank you, Victor Font,
OK, then I have to look into the server or if there are any cache effects anywhere.
Have to speak with my web host.

Great to know this, so I am not fencing in the air.
Then it is easy to make one's own pages, at least as long the code is GPL. 😉
