Why field is double when I print it in node.tpl.php

Question

I have a issue. I created a field in "content types > article". Then I went to node.tpl.php and added next code:

<?php print render($content['field_like']); ?>

after that, I cleared cache and saw double field in my article. I tried to hide this field in "manage display" but it didn't successful, my field disappeared at all.

I just want to render my field in a certain place in the node.tpl.php

Try wrapping the field in the hide function.

hide($content['field_like']);

Do this after you have output your field but before you call render($content).
