I'm building my own theme and so far so good.

I created a template and named it correctly but it doesn't appear in any drop-down or indeed there's even no page attribute option at all.

Do I need to add something to the functions file?

There is nothing either in 'screen options'

Thanks for all help

This works:

<?php
/*
 * Template Name: Top Ten
 * Template Post Type: post, page, product
 */

get_header();  ?>

I was missing the Template Post Type
