We have a new website that was develeped in Umbraco for us. We were left with templates and filler content and are now building it out. We need to change a template on an eixisting page. We cannot just change the template so we are tying instead to create a new page to replace the one existing. When creating a new page with a different template , the page shows in tree as published but is blank in preview mode. We have tried this with a number of different templates and cannot get it to preview. However, if we create a new page using the same template it currently uses (the wrong one!!) it prviews just fine.
Some templates not appearing in preview mode

Help...any suggestions?
Have you tried just adding the altTemplate querystring to your currently published pages?
So your page is something like this:
http://something.sth/mypage.aspx
Your template alias is "newTemplate".
The alternative template can be preview by going to:
http://something.sth/mypage.aspx?altTemplate=newTemplate
This syntax is case-sensitive by the way.
is working on a reply...
