Why in node.tpl.php $content is different from $node? I'm creating a custom template file for a specific content type.
I'm printing most of values with

&lt;?php print render($content['field_blabla']); ?&gt;


As some of them didn't show up and they are not empty I tried

dpm($content);


Indeed they aren't in the array printed, but if try

$node = node_load($node-&gt;nid, NULL, TRUE);
dpm($node-&gt;field_blabla['und'][0]['value']);


I can see the value!

What's the problem? Why are they missing? 

Thanks
Sounds like their field display settings are hidden, which is one reason it would not be in the $content renderable array.

Check the display settings for the applicable view mode for this content type on the "Manage Display" tab.
