I just want to double-check we are referring to the same thing. If you see the screenshot, most themes would look like this and have an option to select a template. I do not have this option with the salient theme though.
Yes, we have page templates that you can choose from like in the screenshot you shared.
This is a core Wordpress feature and themes have no control over this. If you do not see the option to choose templates, please ensure that you have activated it in the screen options shown in this screenshot.
Also, note that this option is available for pages and not posts.
Hi,
I have created a custom page template and added it to my child theme, but it is not showing.
Does your theme prevent the use of custom page templates?
Thanks
Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us.
Our theme allows users to also create custom templates. If it is not showing it may be an issue with the code you have applied.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, don't hesitate to write back, I'm happy to help.

I just wanted to double-check that it wasn't a Salient issue. Looks like an issue from my end so I will look into it.
Thanks again
