Nobody has any clue to what is going on with this?
Are you editing your template on Mac?
That’s a deadly combination 🙂
1. I hope you use the code mod… otherwise you’ll always be screwed up.
2. make sure you save the file after editing with the correct line breaks/ending – UNIX and not something else.
so what should I do then? Not sure I follow you
Try to save the edited template file in a plain text editor and re-upload.
In intelligent editors (maybe even in DW) you can define the line breaks as DOS or UNIX or MAC. You need Unix for the template files.

I have another problem with multiple templates.
The steps the startposter took to make a subpage with another template works fine for me, but the loop sums up the pages and not the posts.
So I made a file called journal.php and added the template name code in the top of that file.
Then, I added a new page in the wordpress back-end and activated the template setting.
What is the right workround to create a landingpage(home.php, don’t have a problem here), with sub-blogs(cant figure out how to create this).
To clear things out, here’s my idea:
– Homepage
- – Journal
- – Music
- – Photo
– About
– Contact
My idea was to create a different template for each sub-blog: journal, music and photo
Create posts and separate them by adding catagories for each item responding to their subblog name.
(I hope i my point clear because english is not my native language)
There are no “sub-blogs” in WP. Just one single blog, that’s for starters…
Yes, journal, music, photo should be CATEGORIES , not Pages. Pages are not meant to display posts. Period.
Category_Templates work just fine. Why do you need Pages?
(your English is OK; your thinking of Pages is not OK 🙂
Do’h
I was thinking way to difficult.
In the codex, under Template Hierarchy In Detail, Page is the first linked item you run into. I think that confused me.
Thanks for the fast feedback!
