The Loop – the_post_thumbnail before the_title

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I’ve a weird situation and perhaps I don’t quite understand the inner workings of WordPress as well as I should.

Here’s my loop.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail('single'); //grabs post thumbnail ?>
  <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
  <h5>Written by <i><?php the_author(); ?></i> in <?php the_category(','); ?></h5>
  <?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Seems pretty simple right? As I understand it this should cause the post to display the …

Thumbnail (as custom size defined in the functions.php)
Title
Author
Content.

However, its displaying

Title
Author
Thumbnail
Content

I’ve been starring at it for a while now and I think I just need a fresh pair of eyes. I’m sure its something soo simple.

Thanks in advance for any help!
