page template changing

[Boltz]

Templates come from themes, some themes only have 1 template. If you want more, use a theme with multiple templates or copy the template.php and make your own variations.

Themes themselves are changed under theme tab


Sites have themes
Pages have templates ( from themes )


If you want "back end editor templates", then we do not do that, but you can use plugins like special pages and custom pages which allow you to add custom meta or additional fields which can be output in templates.

Are the most common plugins to add custom page types with special inputs other than those provided in core.
Core does not support this.

I copied header.inc.php -footer... - sidebar... and functions.inc.php to the equivalent header2.inc.php footer2... etc and copied the template.php to template2.php and changed there include('header.inc.php'); to include('header2.inc.php'); etc. That is a possibility but is all very awkward - Therefore, the core should be extended
