Show Content HTML In Admin Area
-
I’m writing a word count plugin (my first plugin) and I need to be able to set a variable equal to the content of the post, with all HTML rendered (not & lt; and & gt;). I can’t find the filter to display the post content in the admin panel with HTML tags actually rendered. Here’s how I’ve done it:
$countpost = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); $countpost = attribute_escape($countpost); // Put "<" and ">" back into any HTML code. // WordPress filters otherwise only display "& lt;" and "& gt;" $htmlentities = array("<", ">", """); $htmltags = array("<", ">", '"'); $countpost = str_replace($htmlentities, $htmltags, $countpost); // Oddly enough, now we can strip those things we just put back in. // Remove white space and html $countpost = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', strip_tags($countpost));
There’s got to be an easier way to display the_content instead of displaying it, replacing all & lt; and & gt; with < and >, then doing
strip_tags
on it.
