What is the difference between `the_content()` and `get_the_content()` in WordPress?

Accepted Answer

the_content() applies filters and echoes the content, while get_the_content() returns raw unfiltered content. This means that the_content() will display the post content on the page with any formatting or modifications applied, while get_the_content() will simply retrieve the content as it is stored in the database.
