Custom Fields won’t add correctly – Theme problem

    Hello, I am working on a custom theme for the site http://goodgamery.com/wordpress/.

    I made a change yesterday that somehow broke the “Add Custom Field” button when writing a new post. If I switch back to the default theme, that button works again. I can’t remember what I was editing at the time, since I had made a bunch of changes and only noticed the broken button a couple hours later.

    Has anyone had this happen before? I need help tracking down where exactly in my theme I managed to break things.

    Thanks.

    Ok, I found the problem after I remembered that functions.php has to be completely free of blank lines.

    I had one blank line near the bottom of that file and after I removed it, the custom fields button worked again.

    you are a lifesaver!

    Blank lines in the functions.php file was causing all sorts of buggy actions in the admin section, like when I would try to add a custom field to a post/page, the flash of yellow and the field actually getting added to the list wasn’t happening, but if I would refresh the page, it would then show the field as being added.

    Guess I got lucky with the google search tonight…

    Another one who got lucky with its search.

    I left some blank fields (because the theme of my blog is quite complex), but corrected all the double or triple balnk spaces into one, and worked perfectly!
