remove extraneous code from posts

Hey sky19er,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Using this filter in the functions.php file might help.

add_filter("the_content", function($content) {
	preg_match_all('/<span style="font-weight: 400;">(.*)<\/span>/', $content, $matches);

	foreach ($matches[0] as $key => $value) {
		$content = str_replace($value, $matches[1][$key], $content);
	}

	return $content;
}, 10, 1);

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The greater and less than symbols in the html tags should be replaced with their html entity. For some reason, the forum converts them to the actual symbols.

// https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/math/greater-than-sign/
// https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/math/less-than-sign/

To prevent the forum from converting the html entities, we added a spaces before lt and gt. Just copy the code in your editor, then remove the spaces.

add_filter("the_content", function($content) {
	preg_match_all('/& lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"& gt;(.*)& lt;\/span& gt;/', $content, $matches);

	foreach ($matches[0] as $key => $value) {
		$content = str_replace($value, $matches[1][$key], $content);
	}

	return $content;
}, 10, 1);

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,
I copied your page html to an ALB test page using a text block to emulate your page, it contained 104 <span style="font-weight: 400;">
I found that using this reduced it to zero and didn’t seem to lose any content or broken spans:

add_filter("the_content", function($content) {
	preg_match_all('/<span style="font-weight: 400;">(.*?)<\/span>/', $content, $matches);

	foreach ($matches[0] as $key => $value) {
		$content = str_replace($value, $matches[1][$key], $content);
	}

	return $content;
}, 10, 1);

The ? as a repetition quantifier changes this behavior into non-greedy, or Lazy, and in this case seems to work.

Best regards,
Mike
