Applying a <strong>WordPress</strong> Page Template<br />

1. To add a <strong>WordPress</strong> page template to a<br />

page, edit or add a new page from the Pages menu<br />

located in the <strong>WordPress</strong> Dashboard.<br />

2. Find the Page Attributes section. In this section, you’ll<br />

see a drop-down list for available page templates.<br />

Depending on your <strong>WordPress</strong> theme, you’ll see your<br />

specific page template options in the drop-down menu.<br />

For example, for this <strong>WordPress</strong> theme, you have an<br />

option to select the Default template, a Front page<br />

template or a Full-width page template <strong>with</strong> no sidebar.<br />

Previewing your <strong>WordPress</strong> Page<br />

Template<br />

To test out how each of these templates would change<br />

the look of the page, select a page template. Now, you<br />

can preview the changes to this page and decide<br />

whether or not to apply this page template to the page.<br />

Publishing the Page<br />

Once you’ve selected the page template to apply, just<br />

make sure it’s been selected and click Publish.<br />
