WordPress Page doesn’t load the template selected

I realise this question is 3 years old, but I just solved what sounds like a similar situation.

  • I have a page with a slug join
  • I created page-join.php and my issue was that it wasn’t being referenced
  • I resolved the issue by changing the Join page’s Page Attributes > Template from what was selected to Default Template
