Page Types won't delete

Permalink
Hello everyone,

I've put in a couple page types and they just aren't working they way they should. I named them correctly, installed them under the theme "inspect" page, and they show up when I enter the "design" dialog box and I can assign them but they just don't work! All of the pages on my site still use default.php. I thought maybe deleting them and trying again would help but I can't even delete them! I've cleared the cache through the dashboard and through my browser and it had no effect. Please help!

Okay so after a little more searching in the forum I was finally able to delete the page types I wanted to.

1. Make sure no active pages are using that page type
2. Delete any old versions of that page that may have used that page type
3. Empty the trash (located on the site map under the system pages)
4. Clear your cache
5. Delete the page types you don't want.

HOWEVER... I created a new blank page type with just the header inc and footer inc, added it through theme inspect, applied it to a page, and it still shows the default.php page type!! Bah!
