 * I am creating a template and when i use this code
 *     ```
       <?php $subs = new WP_Query( array( 'post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_type' => 'page', 'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id' ));
       					if( $subs->have_posts() ) : while( $subs->have_posts() ) : $subs->the_post();
       						?>
       						<div class="product">
       							<? echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'medium'); ?>
       							<?php the_content(); ?>
       						</div>
       						<?
       					endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       ```
   
 * It breaks my template, “the_content()” text goes right out of the wrapper element.
   If I replace the code above with static text the same as whats in “the_content()”
   for my pages it doesn’t break the template.
 * Whats going on here is another thread post on a another forum i made for the 
   same issue, use it as a reference if needed to help me fix this problem.

 * It sounds like you are having a CSS issue. It could also be that you aren’t using
   the proper PHP opening tags.

 * its not a css problem because i have no styling on the elements atm,
 * Beside on the main page of the site the styling works fine

 * From what I found it the p tag causing the text to go outside the parent element
   and theres no styling on it either

 * Did you check the post that you used as an example? it’s curious why it should
   have an `&nbsp;` between the blahs
 * It possible that the lack of styling itself is what’s causing it.
    default styling
   could be different for static content and generated content.
 * perhaps adding styling like
    `overflow: hidden;` for the wrapper or a `word-wrap:
   break-word;` for the `<p>`
 * Are you creating a theme from scratch or is it a child-theme?

 * putting the word-wrap: break-word; on the <p> tag worked! thanks a lot!
