# String Replace.

 * Hello.
 * I am creating a wordpress site for a client and i am experiencing a problem.
 * When creating a post from the dashboard pressing enter only creates a line break
   rather than a paragraph. So it moves it to a new line instead of having a space
   between the paragraphs.
 * So i figure what i have to do is a string replace that finds 
    tags and replaces
   them with <p> tags. The only thing is i actually have no idea how to it haha.
   So my div i am calling in the content using the <?php the_content(); ?>
 * Where do i go from here? I apologize because i don’t like creating such an open
   question but i really don’t know where to start with it…

 * Right, i have amended someone else’s code and i believe this should work.
 *     ```
       function replace_content($content)
       {
       	$content = str_replace('/n', '<p></p>',$content);
       	return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content','replace_content');
       ```
