Question

I’m developing a wordpress 3.3.1 theme and I’m having troubles with the single.php file.
It displays – no matter what post (&p=111 e.g.) you select – only the content of the newest post.

This is my loop:

            <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
            <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


            <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title() ?></h1>

            <?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
            <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
            <img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" class="cover" />
            <?php endif; ?>

            <p class="page-text">
                <?php the_content(); ?>     
            </p>

            <?php endwhile; ?>
            <?php endif; ?>

What could be wrong? I hope you’ve understood my problem. Thank you!

edit:

I recently updated the header file. When I delete this loop, it works fine:

                        <ul class="nav-dropdown">
                        <?php
                            $cat_args = array(
                              'orderby' => 'name',
                              'order' => 'ASC',
                              'child_of' => 5,
                              'exclude' => '1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14'
                            );
                            $categories = get_categories($cat_args); 
                            foreach($categories as $category) {

                                 $post_args = array(
                                  'category' => $category->term_id
                                );
                                $posts = get_posts($post_args);

                                foreach($posts as $post) {
                        ?>
                            <li class="nav-dropdown"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="pagelink"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
                        <?php
                                }
                            }
                        ?>
                        </ul>

Answer 1

I’d change your variable names in the header as ones such as $post are reserved by WordPress for handling single post pages.
