I’m thinking the problem isnt my loop, as I tried another one and still got the code displaying…
<?php
query_posts('showposts=1&cat=167');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<div class="featured-image"> <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'medium' ); ?> </div>
<!--<h2 class="content-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>-->
<div class="contententry">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<p class="metadata">
<?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
