Custom Page Templates Setup

This plugin offers you the ability to add custom page template files to your WordPress installation without having to manage
theme folders or use a ftp client. Simply upload the custom template file you have been working on and it will be registered
with WordPress as a template option for your pages. This plugin is straight to the point and has a clean user interface using
W3.CSS.

Plugin menu is located under ‘Appearance’ menu.

Install and activate the plugin and then find it’s options page as a submenu under the Appearance menu.

To get started, simply upload a custom page template and it should automatically be registered with WordPress, and thus it will
be an option on the ‘Edit Page’ screen under ‘Page Attributes’->’Template’ as a drop-down option.

Step By Step:

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/custom-page-templates-setup/ directory, or install the plugin directly
   through the WordPress plugin repository (‘Plugins’->’Add New’->’Search Plugins’->’Install Now’).
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
3. Go to the option page (‘Appearance’->’Custom Page Templates’).
4. Upload a custom page template php file.
5. Go to the ‘Edit Page’ screen for desired page.
6. Change the page template under ‘Page Attributes’->’Template’.

Why did you make this plugin?

A friend recommended me to make this functionality into a plugin instead of incorporating it into a larger plugin.

1. 

   A clean user interface to manage user generated custom page templates.

2. 

   New page template options on the 'Edit Page' screen after uploading custom templates.
