Embeds aren't embedding

Hello,

I’ve got my site setup with a couple different embeds used for the header, nav, and footer. None of these are rendering when you load up a template. If you view the source of the rendered page, everywhere there should be filled content from one of the embeds, it’s just blank, almost as though EE came across that tag and just ignored it. If you view the individual templates for each embed, their code is rendering… so it would seem to me it’s a problem with the way the embed tags themselves are rendered. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

You really need to post some code, I am afraid.

The example in the docs doesn’t use quotation marks:
```
{embed=learning_center/header_index}
```
Oh, and I trust there is both a template_group learning_center and a template named header_index?

Never mind, this one does. Still, try it.

Figured it out.

The template group name was the problem. Someone must have changed it. THANKS! Sometimes I guess you just need someone on the outside to ask you those question.

Thanks again!
