i've implemented a jQuery gallery for displaying several images within a post. the problem is that the_content(); also displays the post image. any ideas how to filter it? thanks

maybe you can give us a little more to work with? Are you just attaching the images to the post or are you actually putting them in the post content? – eileen.carpenter Mar 1 '11 at 14:58
i've attached the images directly to the post (i'm having the [gallery] tag in my content) - but as attaching images has to be easy for our customer, the tag needs to remain in the content - that's why i need to filter it at the frontend. thanks – Fuxi Mar 1 '11 at 15:08
you would still attach images per post just leave out gallery short code and write a get_posts query for attachments. See codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts as the post_type would be attachments and then use wp_get_attachment_image (codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image) and manually build your gallery in the theme. The only difference would be the lack of [gallery] in your post content. – eileen.carpenter Mar 1 '11 at 15:53

you can add a filter to the_content hook to strip the images

something like:

add_filter('the_content', 'strip_images',2);

function strip_images($content){
   return preg_replace('/<img[^>]+./','',$content);
}

is it possible to have this to work only on certain pages and not on other pages (or categories?) – Akmur Apr 4 '12 at 14:40
Yep, just check in the function if its the right page using Conditional Tags codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags – Bainternet♦ Apr 4 '12 at 14:45

This is better:

<?php echo strip_shortcodes(wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 80 )); ?>

Change 80 to whatever count words.

Please explain why that could solve the problem. – toscho♦ Mar 18 at 23:08
