    Ive moved an EE v2.1.1 site to a development environment. Everything works fine except when I go to my template manager in admin and i get a screen with this error message:

    Hi James,

    To confirm. This is the first thing you see? Or is it after you attempt to do something in the template manager?

    Is job_detail one of your templates?
    Are you saving templates as files?

    Can you go through your template folders and make sure that they all follow the correct format of template_group_name.group

    Also make sure that you have all of your templates named correctly filename.html or .rss or similar

    I have seen this issue before and it was because somebody had a space in a template file name because they duplicated a file. In other words they had a file that had a name “index copy.html”. The space was what killed it.

    Yes, its the space in the template file that caused the issue. Thanks a lot.
