Is it possible to change the contents of “the_content()”?

1 Views

I have moved a blog over to wordpress and I’ve used a lot of DOMDocument, xpath, regex and other methods to scrub the text.

This means that the_content(); is no longer the content and I’m using my own function ‘stripped_content();’ to echo out my stuff.

I have a plugin that looks for the_content(); and puts some social media buttons beneath it, but obviously my posts no longer use it.

So how can I make the_content(); my new content?

  1. Add a filter to the_content and put your code in there so you don’t need your custom content function:

    function wpa_content_filter( $content ) {
    // run your code on $content and
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpa_content_filter' );

    You may need to adjust priority to run your filter before or after others:

    // high priority, run early
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpa_content_filter' 1 );

// low priority, run late
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpa_content_filter' 999 );
