the_content doesn’t display the content on single postings

    I am using Borderline Chaos theme on WordPress 1.5. The site in question is right here and as far as main page view or category view, all the entries display correctly. However, click on any entry title, and the resulting page will display the title, the timestamp, the date stamp, but no content.

    If you scroll down through the source code for the page, you will see a comment I made “Here comes the_content”. The next line is the call to the_content(), and as you can see, it produces a break and nothing more. Once again, the titles and the other info about the entry are all there.

    Took a quick look at the BC theme and couldn’t see any inherent problem with it, Copy the source from your single.php to here:

    http://pastebin.com/

    And reply back with the url to your paste up. Then we can get a complete look at it.

    Link to pastebin copy of my single.php

    Line 189 is the content call.

    Your template works fine from here. So, next on the checklist:

    Do you have this problem with other themes?
    Any text formatting plugins running?

    Just switched to Kubrick (WordPress default for 1.5) – yes, the problem doesn’t go away.

    No plugins used whatsoever, a clean install, and nothing activated.

    It appears to be a permalink issue. Try removing the %post_id% portion of your permalink structure. Or rather, use %postname% or %post_id%, but not both at the same time.

    Thank you very much, that fixed it. Do you have any ideas on why this was happening?

    I am using the same set up (postname/postid) on another blog hosted on WP 1.5 with the same hoster and that one never had any problems.

    Apparently passing the permalink structure through index.php is not identical to the way it works using mod_rewrite. If you need it this way on the blog linked above, I’d suggest filing a bug report about the difference:

    The permalinks without /index.php/ structure did not work at all, resulting in 404s, so I just followed the suggestion in WP admin interface for adding /index.php/ before the permalink structure.
