"caption"code showing in content feed Wordpress

Question

On the main posts page (blog), the content that feeds through there is showing the [caption] code: http://www.katetremills.com/messages

I'm using this to truncate the amount of content feeding through:

<?php 
    echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content() , 85, "... Read More" ); 
?>

What's the best way to ensure the [caption] code doesn't show?

Thanks!

Function get_the_content() will return the unfiltered content. Try using this:

<?php
$content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);

echo wp_trim_words( $content, 85, "... Read More" ); 
?>

Hope this helps.
