# Single.php showing all posts?

 * For some reason my page single.php is showing all the post from a category instead
   of just a single post! I cannot figure out why this is at all. Am I missing some
   code?
 * `<?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="container"> <?php if(have_posts()) : ?> <?php
   while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php the_content();?
   > <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * The post in question: [http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/screenshots](http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/screenshots).
 * I want it to display the screenshots post but instead it is displaying all the
   posts from that category. Really would appreciate if anyone could help me fix
   this.. Thanks.

 * I think it might be in the link you’re using.
 * I would expect a link to a single post to look like this:
    [http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/category-name/post-title](http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/category-name/post-title)
 * You could test this by making your post titles into links, to see what link you
   get then.
    `<h4><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>“><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   </h4>`

 * Tried that, no luck.
 * Try it yourself : [http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com](http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com);
   the title links just link to a page displaying all the posts..

 * I don’t know what you did, but [http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/screenshots](http://easingslider.matthewruddy.com/screenshots)
   seems to be displaying only the screenshots now. So I guess it’s working…
    Did
   you figure out what was wrong?

 * Yeah. I had used;
 *  `<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?></code
 * in the header as a navigation (displaying only the titles) which seemed to break
   things. Fixed it now though.
 * Thanks.
