 * Hello,
 * I have “written” my first plugin, but however simple is that, it doesn’t work
   flawlessly.
 * It is supposed to replace all ‘a’ letters to ‘xxx’ in the content.
 * But it only replaces them in 2 posts out of 4.
 *     ```
       function automatic_link ($text) {
   
       $text = str_replace('a', 'xxx', $text);
       	return $text;
       }
   
       add_filter('the_content', 'automatic_link');
       ```

 * I’m sorry I haven’t asked your help specifically, so…
 * Can you think of any reason that applies this string replacing filter differently
   to posts?
