Upload `plugin-name.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2.

Guess it is because it is many years old and not maintained. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4926ff7df2deab060986b47c01323e333a1c4ac2cf22cdbae88493a5755796bf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[At least the plugin’s name is misleading](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/at-least-the-plugins-name-is-misleading/)󠁿 [mdivk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mdivk/) Nobyembre 18, 2017 I am looking for a plugin to allow using page’s templates in a post, this plugin’s name matches my search, but unfortunately, it is not working as what I thought.
