Setab

Check for white spaces in the functions.php file.
They may exist specifically if you tried to edit any of this file.

Alternatively, download a clean version of this theme and replace the current functions.php file with the downloaded version.

Hope this helps.

Great info..thanks..just what I’ve been working on trying to figure out…

Do the following and “Author” will come up as a template option when you create a new page.

In author.php add
“Template Name: Author” to the top of the file as in the example below

/**
 * Template Name: Author
 * The template for displaying Author Archive pages.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Ten
 * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
 */

The Authors Template, author.php, is in the theme templates list when you enter “Editor” in the admin page if that is what you are referring to.
