Wordpress and the_content()

Question

Anyone knows why the_content() doesn't show on my single.php page, while it shows up on index.php?

Thanks.

                                <div class="block">
                                    <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                                    <p class="date">
                                        <?php the_date('d F Y'); ?>
                                    </p>
                                    <p>
                                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                                    </p>
                                </div>

Answer 1

in your single.php page nad index page the_*() functions are only designed to be used within the loop.

while(have_posts())
{
   ///the_content(); the_title(); the_post(); etc
}

//If I Used here then it would not work!
