title: Can't change <p> tag in the_content using string replace
body: <p>I am struggling to get a simple string replace to work in wordpress the_content function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
  
      $phrase = the_content();
      $find = '&lt;p&gt;';
      $replace = '&lt;p style="text-align: left; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #1b3d52; font-weight: normal; margin: 15px 0px; font-style: italic;"&gt;';
  
      $newphrase = str_replace($find, $replace, $phrase);
  
      echo $newphrase;
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br />
  It just seems to echoing <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> still.</p>
  
  <p>Instead of <code>&lt;p style="text-align: left; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #1b3d52; font-weight: normal; margin: 15px 0px; font-style: italic;"&gt;</code> </p>
