How to add “Template” option in page attributes panel?

If there is everything OK with your template file (it should be placed in root directory of your theme) and the comment is correct then there can be one more thing…

There is/was some mysterious bug, that was preventing template select from appearing. You can read about this bug here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18324

It’s closed, because it could not be reproduced, so… it’s still not solved.

The good news is that there was workaround for this bug. If you switch to some other theme, and then get back to your theme, then the contents of page template select should be refreshed and correct.

PS. You really shouldn’t be using so old WP đŸ˜‰
