More Information More Information
When used inside The Loop, this function will get the content of the current post.
If used outside The Loop, you must inform the post you want to get the content from using the optional $post parameter.
An important difference from the_content() is that get_the_content() does not pass the content through the the_content filter. This means that get_the_content() will not auto-embed videos or expand shortcodes, among other things.

Note that
get_the_contentdoesn’t return the same thing as whatthe_contentdisplays. For that you need to do this:Basic Usage
Display the post content, ending with “Read more” if needed
find out if the_content has content before output
in functions.php and similar files:
// write inside the loop $the_content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content()); if ( !empty($the_content) ) { echo $the_content; } // with post object by id $post = get_post(12); // specific post $the_content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); if ( !empty($the_content) ) { echo $the_content; }as function
// call inside the loop or with ID // taken from has_excerpt() // http://wpsocket.com/wpref/function/has_excerpt function mytheme_has_content( $post = 0 ){ $post = get_post( $post ); return ( !empty(apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content)) ); }template inside the loop:
<?php if ( $customQuery->have_posts() ) {?> <?php while ( $customQuery->have_posts() ) { $customQuery->the_post(); ?> <?php $the_content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content()); ?> <!-- html --> <?php if ( !empty($the_content) ) { ?> <div class="content"> <?php echo $the_content; ?> </div> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?> <?php } ?>If you use
get_the_content()before the global $wp_query object is set, the postmeta are not well generated becausegenerate_postdata()use $wp_query.To get around this issue, just construct a global $wp_query object before calling
get_the_content()
