I have big trouble with the_content() for single.php.

Whats my problem?

  • the_content() doesn't give any output on single pages
  • furthermore it crashes (no other PHP code below the function call is executed
  • There are no PHP or database errors shown
  • On all other page and post types the_content() works

What I have done/checked so far

  • deactivated all plugings -> no success
  • used original Wordpress themes -> no success
  • checked twice if the_content() is inside the loop -> it is inside
  • tried to use $post->post_content -> gives output, but I want to use the_content()
  • $textt = get_the_content(); echo $textt; -> Works also, so where's the difference between get_the_content and the_content, which keeps the_content from working as supposed to

So it seems that the problem is theme and plugin independent. I use Wordpress 3.8 and also tried to reinstall the via the update function.

  • Do you have WP_DEBUG enabled? Check server logs, sometimes PHP gets confused so bad it crashes Apache before it can generate error. – Rarst Jan 8 '14 at 20:56
  • Can you copy / paste The Loop into your question? Have you tried the default theme? – Howdy_McGee♦ Sep 1 '15 at 16:45
  • Post your loop code and anything else that could affect it. – gdaniel May 9 '16 at 21:45

the_content( ); vs get_the_content(); The different is pretty simple actually. If you find yourself annoyed with formatting of the content, more specifically the added p-tags that WordPress puts into the content that you didn’t. Just use get_the_content(); and you will remove those tags.

Normally the get_the_content() tag returns the content WITHOUT formatting. Only the_content() will print the content WITH formatting.

echo apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);

  • Yeah, but I want to use the_content(). I asked for the difference to find the point, which keeps the_content() from working correctly. So also apply_filters('the_content') is broken. So I think if I could get the "the_content" filter fixed, the_content() would also work again. But I have no idea how to fix it. – netblognet Jan 8 '14 at 10:42
  • use this code pass second perimeter value. echo apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); – Ravi Patel Jan 8 '14 at 10:46
  • Unfortunaely this doesn't work, because the 'the_content' filter is broken. But I don't know why. Wordpress is freshly installed and even with twentyforteen theme and no plugins it doesn't work for single page. For main page and pages it does work. – netblognet Jan 8 '14 at 11:02
  • This code is worked on 3.8 theme fourteen in single.php so your code in mistake please add your code. – Ravi Patel Jan 8 '14 at 11:14
