title: WordPress: difference between get_the_content() and the_content()
body: <p>I was working on the new theme in the WordPress and spent tons of time with the get_the_content() function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;
        &lt;div&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;&lt;?=get_the_content();?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seems that it doesn't process shortcuts and doesn't do paragraphs.</p>
  
  <p>Then I replaced it with the the_content(); and my paragraphs and shortcuts started to work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;
        &lt;div&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;&lt;?=the_content();?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question: What is the difference between the functions and what additional processing the_content(); does comparing to get_the_content();?</p>
