2.  In the theme's config.json file, please add the following entry:

```json

"postTemplates": {
   "TEMPLATE_SLUG": "Human readable template name"
}
```

**WARNING!** Please use lowercase slugs without any special and non-latin chars. Also, avoid using the **DEFAULT** slug as it is used exclusively for posts which are using the default post template from the **post.hbs** file.
