Adding php snippet

I read the article about adding a php snippet and took the advice to use the Code Snippets plugin, and copied what I think is the code, but it's still not doing anything. Is there another step I'm missing somewhere?
Hi Dee,
You can filter the title output by using the the_title filter.
You can try this out.
add_filter('the_title', 'line_break_title');
function line_break_title($title) {
$title = str_replace(' | ', '<br />', $title);
return $title;
}Let us know if it works for you.
Thank you, Elvin! I don't actually understand why it needs a filter, but it worked great. Thank you very much! :)
I believe the snippet you were using was supposed to be used for the_title() function inside your content.php.
Something like this.
the_title( echo str_replace(' | ', '<br />', get_the_title()) );
the_title() function is used to control the title output. Since we went the plugin route, we had to filter what the content.php outputs rather than editing its code.
