Empty Single.php

  • I am jumping into a site that was developed by another person. The site has loops that are working as feeds throughout the site, however, if you click on a post to view the full article/etc, it takes you to a blank page. It seems as though the single.php is not working properly.

    single.php does exist on the server, I tried replacing it with a default single.php to no avail. Permalink reset does nothing. If I try previewing the post in the wordpress admin I also get a blank page.

    New to WP, appreciate any help.

    Posts are previewing properly to the feed at this code

    <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=2&cat=3'); ?>

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

	<br />
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="news-title"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

    <p><?php /* the_excerpt(); */

		$trimexcerpt = get_the_excerpt();
		$shortexcerpt = wp_trim_words(
  		$trimexcerpt,

		// limit number of words
  		$num_words = 25,

		// design your read more link
  		$more = '… <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">more</a>' );

		// show excerpt with read more link
		echo '<p>' . $shortexcerpt . '</p>';

	?></p>

    <br />

	<?php endwhile; else: ?>

	<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

    this is the current single.php

    <?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying all single posts.
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" role="main">

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
        <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

        <div class="entry">
            <?php the_content(); ?>
        </div>

        <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?></p>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div><!-- #content -->

<br /><hr /><br />    

<div class="navigation">
    <div class="left50">
    <?php previous_post('? %',
     'Previous Post ', 'in_same_cat', 'yes' ); ?>
    </div><!--/left50-->

    <div class="right50">
    <?php next_post('% ? ',
     'Next Post', 'in_same_cat', 'yes' ); ?>
    </div><!--/right50-->
</div> <!--/navigation-->

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
