   I need to get the content of a page and not echo it. I.e. The the_content echoes the page content but using get_the_content() skips the applying of the filters so the plugins that are installed do not work. My question is how do I apply the filters to the get_the_content() function. I've tried:

   apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content);
   $panels = explode("[newpage]", get_the_content());

   but it's not working...

   mmm.. found the solution:

   $content = get_the_content();
   $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
   $panels = explode("[newpage]", $content);

   I, too, researched this back in May. But what I found was a little different:
   

   // from http://www.web-templates.nu/2008/08/31/get_the_content-with-formatting/
   	$content = get_the_content();
   	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
   	$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);

   I'm not saying that SteeleR's won't work.

   Another approach:

   ob_start();
   the_content();
   $content = ob_get_clean();

   I am new to wordpress, but I've found that I need to use this code! :D

   However, putting the OP's code in page.php or functions.php within my theme's folder does nothing. How would one go about using this code?

   Right now my page code looks like this:
   

   <?php 
   
   		if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   				<?php echo get_the_content(); ?>
   
   				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '', 'after' => '', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
   		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   which works great, except for plugins aren't working when I add them to a page. Any help would be most appreciated.
