Removing Images from a WordPress Post: Redux


I wanted to remove the images from a WordPress post to give me more control of how I could layout the design for the front page of a website. After doing some messing around and failing, I finally found a great post by Chris Shuld which had an amazing little piece of code that solved my problem. I just had to make a few modifications to it.

<?php
$content = get_the_content();
$postOutput = preg_replace('/<img[^>]+./','', $content);
echo $postOutput;
?>

    Hi. Your code really helps me! Just a question. It looks like displaying “plain” text. Do you know how can I get the html code in the content like p, a, h3, etc tags?

    Just use the following:

    wplistcategories(‘usedescfor_title=0′);

    print("wp_list_categories('use_desc_for_title=0'); ");

    I’m trying to use this with an excerpt function, here is what I have:

    function the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = '(more...)', $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {
 
    $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);    
 
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
 
    $content = str_replace(']]&gt;', ']]&gt;', $content);
 
    $content = preg_replace('/]+./', '', $content); 
 
   if (strlen($_GET['p']) &gt; 0) {
 
      echo $content;
 
   }
 
   else if ((strlen($content)&gt;$max_char) &amp;&amp; ($espacio = strpos($content, " ", $max_char ))) {
 
        $content = substr($content, 0, $espacio);
 
        $content = $content;
 
        echo strip_tags($content);
 
   }
 
   else {
 
      echo $content;
 
   }
 
}

    The excerpt never showed an image, but because of the image placement it didn’t show any text either.

    Now it’s only showing the 1st letter of the post.

      You can add that code directly to the file where you want to call the content.
