WordPress Edit/Add New Page Template Drop Down Menu Disappears
God what a pain in the goddamn ass. I looked all over the internet for this solution. Finally some foreigner who could barely write English proved he was way smarter than me and established that putting the following HTML in the header of my “page” page, would cause Wordpress to recognize that an “official” template page exists on the site, and as such offer the drop down menu on the edit/new page.
<?php/*Template Name: Page*/?>
Oh, wait. Not quite done and done. If that still doesn’t fix it, activate the default WordPress theme, check to see if the drop down is there, and then reactive your new theme.

In order for this to work, you’ll almost certainly have to install the default theme, check the page post edit page to see if the dropdown has appeared, and then reinstall your new theme. I have no idea why, but this is what works.
