Page Type Not Available

Permalink
I've added a Page Type of Right Sidebar and I have a template for it. When I try to Add a Page and then Choose Page Type, it does not appear.

The Page Type Left Sidebar does show up even after I have deleted it.

It's not the permissions.

Can someone tell me where the pages types come from when you add a page and you see "Choose A Page Type"?

Page types are defined in the dashboard. If you have advanced permissions on, you can limit the page types available for specific groups in specific parts of the site, but by default all of them should be available if you have rights to add a page.

Page types do not have to match to files in the Theme. If a template file exists with a matching name to the page type that template will be used to render the page, otherwise default.php will be used.

There's docs on all of this:

Thanks. I read that doc already and I'm still confused. I created the page type in the dashboard and I have a page template created for it. But when I add a new page it is not available.

I just realized an odd behavior. When I added another Page Type the previous one showed up. It appears that the last page type available doesn't show up. So if I have 6 only 5 show up.

Hmm - that's pretty odd. I wonder if there's something with your install that's funky, or something you're doing that's off..

Try this.
setup a free trial athttp://getconcrete5.com/demo

go into the dashboard
make a page type
go back to the home page
try to add a page and see if the page type is listed...

if so, then something's weird with your install - probably permissions related?

I have the same problem. Not every page type is showing up, and the page type selection box is acting very oddly.

Is there a way to associate page types to pages in the database?

In fact, page types are pretty messed up right now. I was planning on using 8 different page types. When they did not all showed up in te page type selection screen, I started deleting and reactivating some and the page types are almost all gone. I can see 4, the first alphebeticaly ordered 4, and I have an arrow to go to another page, but it shows an empty box.

Weird?

I just found out all themes and page types are available to other profiles, but not to the original admin profile. I read someting earlier in this thread about permissions. I checked in the Dashboard to find something related to permissions on page types but couldn't find anyting. What did you meant by permissions? On the profiles? On the page types? Themes? Or the files themselves?

Thanks.
