 * This plugin did not replace the target shortcut text. For instance, added something
   like this line:
 * foo => bar
 * ‘Foo’ in the text did not display as ‘bar,’ even after publishing a new post 
   and deleting the cache.

 * Do you have the checkbox labeled “Case sensitive text replacement?” checked? 
   It is checked by default.
 * If so, then a replacement rule of:
 * `foo => bar`
 * would not replace “Foo” in the text because of the capital “F”. Try with the 
   checkbox unchecked, or by defining a case specific rule, e.g.
 * `Foo => bar`
 * or try “foo” in your post.

 * The post above should have said foo. It’s not working even without the case sensitivity
   box checked. E.g., put in a rule for 8220 => ” and it won’t fix the instances
   of 8220.
