Filtering the_content on a custom page template

I am trying to build a custom page template to serve as a PPC landing page. Essentially I just want the information from body of my page and I will then style it w/ css. I already figured out how to pass custom variables as the headline and subheadlines, etc.

My problem is that I have the onlywire plugin installed on my site and it filters itself into the_content. but i don't want it there for my landing page. yes i could turn off OW, and i think i might, but i'd like to know how to just pull the text from the_content so that i will never have to worry about any plugins i add in the future showing up on my landing pages.

i was thinking i could add a conditional statement to functions.php that went something like
if ( is_page_template('landing.php') ) {

somehow filter the_content so i just take the text, markup, but nothing added by a plugin

}

i tried

function remove_onlywire() {
remove_action('the_content','remove_onlywire');
}
add_action('init','remove_onlywire');

in that conditional, but it didn't work. plus i dont want to have to do that again in the future if some other plugin sneaks its way into the_content.

any ideas? thanks!

Hi,

need to look into this. As far as I can remember my code, I can only prevent ALL filters (needs a mod of the Thematic core).

maybe i will take a look at my remove function again as i don't think i was correctly naming the onlywire function.

what kind of output do you get if you disable all filters?

Hi-

I've had similar problems with other plugins filtering the_content either before I can filter it or on pages I don't want it filtered. The hard part is finding where to hook in so that your filter or removal happens in the proper order. I did a quick test against this plugin and I believe 'wp' is the proper hook.

Try:
```
function remove_ow_function() {
  if ( is_page_template('landing.php')) {
    remove_filter('the_content','ow_function');
  }
}
add_action('wp','remove_ow_function');
```
