# Replacing post content with plugin content

 * Hi folks,
 * I think this is a basic plugin development query.
 * I’m trying to render my plugin data in place of the center column content. I 
   can hook in successfully and display the plugin data, but it appears along with
   whatever post would normally display there, the Hello world default post, for
   example. So, I’m looking to remove what would normally render there.
 * I think this is done with a remove filter, but I’ve tried the ones that seem 
   appropriate like:
    remove_filter(‘the_content’, “the_post”); and remove_filter(‘
   loop_start’, “the_content”);
 * But the hello world post still appears under my plugin content.
 * Any info or thoughts on how to replace that content when the plugin activates
   is much appreciated.
 * Thanks!
    Mark

 * Looks like I can use:
    `remove_filter('loop_start', "the_post");` which will 
   remove the home page post, but I still get the categories and number of comments
   information posted. Also, if other posts are added, I still get those listed 
   below.
 * Perhaps these are displayed outside “The Loop”?
 * Thanks again,
    Mark

 * I never heard any suggestions about this, so decided to work around the problem
   by displaying the plugin content via a Page instead of a Post.
 * I was able to remove the title and the post content via:
 * It requires an extra step (creating a Page) but it removes all the extra Post
   information displayed on the home page.
 * Best,
