Where is Post Attribute section (for using 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 :)

I 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:

Let me know :)

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:

Perhaps your old theme was adding specific features before?

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

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 :)
