Unable to render title field on node template

Question

For my content type - Article I have a template

node--article.tpl.php

I currently render other fields such as the body text just fine. However the title cannot be displayed. I'm using

print render($content['title']);
print render($content['body']);

But only the title is displayed. To make sure I'm using the right machine name, I looked at the content type configuration.

Is there something missing? Or is there something special I have to do to to the 'title' field?

Answer 1

I was able to print the title using

print $title;
