can you share the $content value? – Rajesh G Jan 01 '20 at 10:52
#', '', $content); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); echo $content; ?> – mrmansour Jan 01 '20 at 10:55
why are you using # in your regex? Refer [here](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php) to know how to use `preg_replace` – Rajesh G Jan 01 '20 at 10:57
i remove # and test again this code: $content = preg_replace('', '', $content); and all content of post removed! – mrmansour Jan 01 '20 at 11:02
k can you get the value of $content and paste it in the demo link in my answer and check how regex matching ? – Rajesh G Jan 01 '20 at 11:06
i tested my value with your demo and work correctly but copy in function.php dosnt work – mrmansour Jan 01 '20 at 14:53
I’m not familiar with PHP, but the reference link shows / before and after the regex. may try like this `//` – Rajesh G Jan 01 '20 at 15:46
