How to remove first image from the_content?

Did you try get_the_content? AFAIK it will simply take the raw text. Give it a try, and don’t forget to echo it out. ??

Hi chaseman, thanks but using get_the_content function does the same as the_content. I’m using it on single.php.

I searched again today and I can’t find a way to get ride of the first image in the_content.

Still looking…

Hi Alkorr,
You can use the following code in place of the_content();

echo preg_replace(“/\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i”,””,get_the_content(),1);

Hi vinay! This code is amazing!! No need for to call a function, your code only is enough to do exactly what I want… Thank you so much for your help! ??

vinay,

Oh my. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. So many themes have no sensible way to limit images in archives. I get both a thumbnail and the full-size image. Until now. Thanks for this code.

Very helpful! I had a mix of images and images with captions so I modified the code to remove the caption info as well:

echo preg_replace("/\[caption .+?\[\/caption\]|\< *[img][^\>]*[.]*\>/i","",get_the_content(),1);
