I am having an issue loading multiple templates, and trying to follow this guide, https://www.silverstripe.org/learn/lessons/v4/working-with-multiple-templates-1

In my app/src I have... Homepage.php

<?php

namespace SilverStripe\Home;

use Page;    

class HomePage extends Page 
{

}

?>

HomepageController.php

<?php

namespace SilverStripe\Home;

use PageController;    

class HomePageController extends PageController 
{

}

?>

In my /custom_theme/templates I have

<html>
<head>
    ..
</head>

<body>
    <% include Header %>
    <% include Navigation %>

    $Layout

    <% include Footer %>
</body>

and in my /custom_theme/templates/SilverStripe/Home/Layout/HomePage.ss I have the html markup. Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong here?, as I am able to choose the Home Page as a page type in the CMS backend, but the page does not load a template at all, simply outputs the content from the CMS.

I have also tried creating a new page template that is not namespaced and based off of the default Page.php and PageController.php code which also does not load. However, the default Page.ss template does load.

theme.yml

---
Name: mytheme
---
SilverStripe\View\SSViewer:
  themes:
    - 'bdsteps'
    - '$public'
    - '$default'
SilverStripe\i18n\i18n:
default_locale: 'en_US'

bdsteps = custom_theme

Sanity checks: the template name matches your PHP class name (plus Layout added), you have flushed, your `custom_theme` is enabled via configuration – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 08:44
I've checked that the name matches the class, and flushed. I just added a bit more info to my question. – Shawn W Feb 02 '19 at 09:05
Can you please check that you've got the theme enabled? – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 09:09
The theme is set in the app/_config/theme.yml file – Shawn W Feb 02 '19 at 16:16
Is custom_theme inside the themes directory? – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 17:10
Yes, the custom_theme is located in the themes directory. – Shawn W Feb 02 '19 at 19:07
Can you share your theme.yml? – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 19:36
I just updated the question with the theme.yml – Shawn W Feb 02 '19 at 19:54
You don’t have custom_theme in it. Also make sure you indent your YAML correctly- the dash lines should be four spaces – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 20:13
bdsteps is my custom_theme, I used that as a reference. The YAML is properly indented in the project. – Shawn W Feb 02 '19 at 20:28
Can you please post a realistic example of your code? – scrowler Feb 02 '19 at 21:08
Somehow I got this working correctly, not sure how but you definitely helped, thanks. – Shawn W Feb 03 '19 at 15:51
