can't add new page

[Jennifer S]

Greetings ProcessWire People.

I created a new PW installation today and all was going well until I tried to create new pages. The template drop-down menu refuses to populate. It lists the templates without a problem on the pre-existing pages when I look at their settings. 

Does this look familiar? I did need to edit the .htaccess file to allow for a custom RewriteBase.

Best wishes,

Jenn

I see now what happened. I deleted the basic-page template, thinking I would use the Home template as my "basic-page" template (I'm kind of radical that way).

I didn't realize you could tell templates that they could not be used for any other pages, which is the default setting for the Home template.

Glad you solved it
