Wordpress: single.php doesn't display the_content()

Question

I\'m creating a custom Wordpress Theme and I can\'t seem to get the single.php template to work. Below is the code I have written. The title comes up but the content doesn\'t. A

Answer 1

the_content() is not displaying because it has to be inside the The Loop - take a look at the docs here »

You need to change your code to this:

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
  the_content();
endwhile;
else:
  

endif;

You can leave out the else if you are always sure you have content to display :) Or just take look at the original single.php where you can find The Loop always surrounds the_content()

edit:

Here is the whole single.php you might wanna use/start with:

    
    
 id="post-">
        

         

        

            
        

        
'); ?> Posted in  |
