Hope someone can offer some suggestions here! I put together a dummy site for the project I am working on and I was able to edit the template.php file without an issues to customize certain site elements. Now I am working on the "real" server and anytime I touch the template.php file either my edits won't work at all, or they will work but create weird XML errors. I was able to work around editing the template.php file, but it seems now that I will have to do it and yet I can't. Has anyone ever experienced these kinds of issues with the template file and can anyone guess what might be wrong?

Just a few questions,

1. Did you clear your theme registry after changing the theme?
2. Are you flushing all your caches? Boost for example retains static html pages if you use that.
3. Are you closing your php tags?
4. What errors are being displayed?

Just some things to get started. :-)
