    Hi.
    I want to do something like this:

    function replace_content($content)
{

$content = str_replace('#TEXT A#', '<div>#TEXT A#<span>#TEXT A-1#</span></div>',$content);

return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

    the code worked fine but I want to replace multiple texts in all posts so it would be very efficient for me to write and manage it something like this:
    $text001 = ‘#TEXT A’ , ‘ #TEXT A-1’ ;
    $text002 = ‘#TEXT B’ , ‘ #TEXT B-1’ ;
    $text002 = ‘#TEXT C’ , ‘ #TEXT C-1’ ;

    Please help me genius people! 🙂

    thanks.

    Just use below code. It will replace …

    function replace_content($content)
{
$content = str_replace('#TEXT A#', '<div>#TEXT A#<span>#TEXT A-1#</span></div>',$content);
$content = str_replace('#TEXT B#', '<div>#TEXT B#<span>#TEXT B-1#</span></div>',$content);
$content = str_replace('#TEXT C#', '<div>#TEXT C#<span>#TEXT C-1#</span></div>',$content);
return   $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

    thanks, Venugopal!
    I already know that code will work…
    but I have so many text to replace, so I wanted to make it more efficient.
    like,

    function replace_content($content) {
$replace_pattern = '#text A-01#' , '#text A-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text B-01#' , '#text B-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text C-01#' , '#text C-02#';

$content = str_replace('$replace_pattern(text01)', '<div>$replace_pattern(text01)<span>$replace_pattern(text02)</span></div>',$content);

return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

    Instead of just adding the entire replacing code, I want to add the ‘$replace-pattern’ so it would be easier to manage.
    I don’t even know how or if there’s any way to do this…

    thanks again!

    Welcome , Please find one more function i hope it will help you

    Just you pass find replace words in array way
    ex: array(“find word”=>”Replace words”);

    function replace_content($content)
{

$find_replace = array( "#TEXT A1#" => "<div>#TEXT A#<span>#TEXT A-1#</span></div>","#TEXT A2#" => "<div>#TEXT A-02#<span>#TEXT A-2#</span></div>", "#TEXT B1#" => "<div>#TEXT B1#<span>#TEXT B-1#</span></div>" );

echo strtr( $content, $find_replace );

}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

    Thanks

    thank you very much Venugopal!

    Apologies that I didn’t explain more specific.
    The reason why I am trying to find a efficient way is:

    for example, in a content, there will be a text “SOMETHING”,
    and I want to replace it to be “<div>SOMETHING<span>EVERYTHING</span></div>”.

    But each word is not the same. that is why I wanted to make a pattern.

    so the code I wrote for was to explain that:

    function replace_content($content) {
$replace_pattern = '#text A-01#' , '#text A-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text B-01#' , '#text B-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text C-01#' , '#text C-02#';

$content = str_replace('$replace_pattern(text01)', '<div>$replace_pattern(text01)<span>$replace_pattern(text02)</span></div>',$content);

return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

    to find “#text A-01#” in the content and replace it to be”<div>#text A-01#<span>#text A-02#</span></div>”

    each text (like “#text A-01#”) has a matching text (like “#text A-02#”) to be replaced with.

    Do you understand what I am trying to say??

    Thank you very much for helping me!
