   Hey gang,

   I'm trying to setup a mobile version for my wordpress-driven site (with slave-tethered mysql databases), and in writing single.php I've run into a curious problem:

   <?php the_content(); ?> won't work!! Excerpt does, and the $post->post_content method works, but without the formatting goodness of the_content. Code's below.

   Cheers!

   <div id="single">
   	<? $cat = cat_slug(); $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?>
               <h3><? the_category(', '); ?> &raquo;</h3>
               <h1><? the_title(); ?></h1>
               <p class="byline"><?php $key="writer"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?> | <?php the_time('d M.') ?></p>
                   <div id ="content"><? # echo $post->post_content; ?><?php the_content(); ?></div>
              	<div id="breadcrumbs"><?php echo "Continue Reading:"; wp_link_pages('before=&after=&next_or_number=number&pagelink=%'); ?></div>
   
           </div><!--single-->

   I have the same issue with my theme. It's my first own theme, so I'm probably just stupid, but I really can't figure out why the_content isn't working. get_the_content as well. They both work in the loop, but not on my single.php

   single.php:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div><?php the_title(); ?></div>
   
   	<div>
   	<?php if (is_single()) {
   	echo $the_content;
   	echo "is_single = true";
   } ?>
   		<? echo $post->post_content; ?>
   	</div>
   
   <div class="main">hehe<?php the_content('Read more...'); ?></div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>

   @gintonic maybe try <?php instead of <? in your lines of code, not sure but I understand that this can cause problems.

   @j-sir will you post all of the code from your page? Did you see the post's title coming up but not the content, or can't you see either?

   I saw the title coming up, and not the content. But I solved it myself... Hadn't included this part in single.php:
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Thanks anyway!
