Thanks for your reply. I’ve got the first one sorted out, after some more thorough reading it was quite easy to fix this.
The second issue however, remains. I can understand what you’re trying to tell me but I’m not sure if you understand what I’m trying to do.
I have an image which is part of the content of a post. I have done this on purpose so that the image stays content manageable. Because this image is part of the post it comes along with the rest of the content when I call the_content(). What I want to do is “strip” the image from the content as if it were so that I have just the image to do something with.
