Get the Page Content,without generating HTML

3 comments

1. Where are you doing your code parsing? If you’re doing it directly in the template file, inside the Loop, then you should be using get_the_content().

   However, it might be more efficient to filter the_content(), via the the_content filter. e.g. in functions.php:

   function mytheme_filter_the_content( $content ) {
       // add code here to filter the_content
       // which is contained in the $content variable,
       // then return $content
       return $content;
   }
   add_filter( 'the_content', 'mytheme_filter_the_content' );
   

   EDIT

   If, for whatever reason, you just want to parse the_content(), pull out the shorcodes, and execute them, use do_shortcode() (Codex ref). e.g.:

   <?php
   $page_content = get_the_content();
   $page_shortcodes = array() // ...some array that includes whatever shortcodes you found
   
   foreach ( $page_shortcodes as $page_shortcode ) {
       do_shortcode( $page_shortcode );
   }
   ?>

2. <?php  
            query_posts( 'type=post&posts_per_page=1' );
   
              if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   
              ?> 
   
                <?php the_content(); ?>
   
                <?php endwhile;
                                  endif; 
   
                 wp_reset_query();
                 ?>

3. You can try this :

   $page_data = get_page( $page_id ); 
   $page_content = $page_data->post_content;
