 * Hi. I don’t know why, but I can’t navigate to post by click. I have tried get_permalink()
   and the_permalink() but changes only url. And i need to see only post that was
   pushed (alone) after click. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong ?<
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       $args = array(
           'post_type'=> 'post'
       );
       $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       // The Loop
       if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
           while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
               $the_query->the_post(); ?>
               <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();  ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
             <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
              <?php
           }
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * I think you may have placed your code on the wrong template, such that is used
   for single post requests. Your code overrides whatever the original request was.
   Why do you create a new WP_Query? WP should give you the same list of posts without
   any custom code by going to either your front page or the blog index page, depending
   on your settings.

 * Howdy!
 * How are you using this code?
 * Personally, my first question is: what are you trying to achieve? I think this
   will help narrow down what could be the issue and we may able to provide a better
   answer as well.
