   my client's website is not showing any content where the_content() is called, but DOES show the_excerpt()...

   anyone have any idea what she's done wrong?

   Thanks Much,
   GN

   I learned a lot from this:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
   Find out which template produces the view you are looking at and then check if it really uses the_content
   index.php usually controls the "frontpage" and single.php the individual posts display.

   well, when i change the_content() to the_excerpt() in index.php, the_excerpt() works, so i'm wondering why the_content() is not getting any content...

   Crazy!
   Did it never work?
   Did it change after an update?
   Did it change after installing a new plugin?
   What happens when you click the post header? Does the post expand to the full post then?
   If possible a link would be helpfull.

   This is strange. I just noticed I have a similar problem. the_content() works on a single post but not on a page. I added the text "content should be here" in my page.php so I know which template is being used.

   Example: http://www.jthemes.com/about

   Will report back how I fixed this.

   I've found that using echo $post->post_content in place of the_content() shows the content. This is a temporary fix and now I've got to figure out why the_content() and the_excerpt() are not working.

   Try calling setup_postdata($post) , as detailed here:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

   Some post-related data is not available to get_posts by default, such as post content through the_content(), or the numeric ID. This is resolved by calling an internal function setup_postdata(), with the $post array as its argument:
