I was working on a WordPress plugin, and I found that when the_content filter hook is used, it gives content of the post to the function as a parameter, but in plain-text format. I want to get the HTML content of the post, any way to achieve this?
Thanks - Kapeel
Finally, after searching a lot, I had solved it.
As said by TheDeadMedic - "Are you sure that the post content does actually contain HTML? Don't forget WordPress will add paragraphs on-the-fly, and won't necessarily store them in the DB."
WordPress does by using a function called
wpautop();
I just used this with
get_the_content();
, and I got it working.Here's an example of how you can achieve this -
EDIT :
I found that this function won't apply filters by other plugins. The following function won't cause any issues.
Do you have any plugins installed, or are you filtering
the_content
elsewhere?By default, the content passed through the filter
the_content
is pretty much what's in the database, minus a bit of parsing (handling <!-- more -->
teasers etc.).Are you sure that the post content does actually contain HTML? Don't forget WordPress will add paragraphs on-the-fly, and won't necessarily store them in the DB.
