Template positions missing

Hi,
I have been working on my development site. Something has happened and Joomla is not recognizing my template.
If I create a module and try to assign it to a position, my template (petalsandpatches) is not an option: my only options are prostar and custom (I uninstalled beez) and most of the custom options do not match the positions I created in my template.
From the front end, the site seems to be working as expected, although I can't assign any new modules etc because of the position issue.
Any suggestions as to what has happened.
I have version 3.3.20 installed at the moment.
Thanks
Jenny

Hi
check your XML file, this is what is used for the modules positions and options
may be a special character like "&" that you have put in a field, or a bad code somewhere
CEd

Thanks - where do I find the xml file?
There is one called "templateDetails.xml" in components>com_templateck>projects>petalsandpatches. Is that what you mean?
i could not see any 'bad code' but I am not a coder so could have missed it.



Thanks.
Jenny

yes, but you can fill this information into template creator

remove the "&"

Thanks Cedric - removed the '&' and the template is displaying in the potions section (yay), although not all positions. I used a module block of 5 and named them above-main-1 to 5. Above-main-2-5 are selectable but above-main-1 is missing.
Also, I created an horizontal menu and selected right justified. In the template creator is is right justified, but live ( www.admingba.org.au ) is is left justified.
Have I got more code wrong?
Thanks
Blessings

yes in your xml the position is missing.
for the menu remove the nav-pills suffix of the module
