Hi all - Having a go at creating a Kirby template, and have a new sticking point. I’ve created a default template, and also a contact template, and also created what I think is the correct file names to load these. However when I navigate to /contact.php all I get is the default template. What am I missing? The help files state that ‘If a template file with the same name as the text file does not exist, the default template is being loaded.’. However I think I’ve done the text files right - maybe not? I’ve uploaded screenshots of both the template and text file structure here: ![](http://i66.tinypic.com/2gtr8lh.png) ![](http://i63.tinypic.com/2zzt3bd.png) Any ideas? Thanks! ---

You should navigate to `/contact`, not `/contact.php`? ---
