My theme doesn't show sample content

Permalink
I'm still a newbie to C5, having installed it for the first time a few days ago.

I managed to create my own theme, and everything works fine, except that my theme doesn't display sample content.
I only have one template(default.php), and two editable areas. They work when i insert content, but why the sample content is not shown?

Here is the code:
<h1><?php  $b = new Area('Main '); $b->display($c); ?>
</h1><?php  $d = new Area('Main 2'); $d->display($c); ?>
</h2>


Shouldn't sample content be presented in the Main area?
Am i missing something?

Regards

Themes match content to areas very literally. The 'Main' area needs to be 'Main' and not 'Main ' or 'main'. The sample content was installed for 'Main' and 'Main' is the convention for all themes.

Have a look at the names for page areas in the Greek Yogurt theme and try and stick to those names in your own theme before creating more areas with incompatible names.

I knew that Main should be called Main, but it never crossed my mind that a single space counts in 'Main '.

Everything is ok now, thanks John.
