I uploaded a post template but when I go to an individual post to select the template in the post attributes section, I can’t find this section. It’s not listed in the screen options as something I can add. How do I enable Dispatch so I can use post templates?

Hi there,
Are you using the new editor? If so, it should be in the “Document” tab, named “Page Attributes”: https://www.screencast.com/t/rHonWjKOT
Let me know 🙂

Ongoing Development: https://generatepress.com/ongoing-developmentI am using the new editor. That section isn’t listed. I used to be able to access it under my old theme but not with this one: https://www.geographyrealm.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screen-Shot-2020-01-21-at-4.17.32-PM.png

The theme itself doesn’t control what WordPress’ editor shows.
Are you sure you are looking at a page and not post?
Make sure it’s activated under Options screen:

Adding CSS: http://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/I’m looking at a post and not a page and I did check the options screen. It doesn’t provide me with a option to turn it on under the Options screen. It’s not listed at all there as an option to check on. I used page templates under my old theme and it was always listed.
Sorry I’m a bit confused.
Page attributes only available to pages and not posts:

You can test with a default twenty series WP theme and you will see the same settings as you are seeing with GeneratePress.

Adding CSS: http://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/Wordpress enabled the use of post templates a few years ago. I just did some more digging and I had forgotten to tag the top of the template file with the attributes like this:
<?php
/*
* Template Name: Book Feature Post
* Template Post Type: post, page, product
*/It’s now working and my post now lists the templates to choose from (see screenshot): https://www.geographyrealm.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screen-Shot-2020-01-21-at-4.57.07-PM.png
Glad you’ve figured out 🙂
