 * Can you use add_filter on a plugin function?
 * In other words the plugin has this function that I would like to change, but 
   not edit the actual source:
 *     ```
       function plugins_function(){
       echo 'do some stuff here';
       }
       ```
   
 * I would like to change it to something else using add_filter() like so:
 *     ```
       fucntion plugins_function_custom(){
       echo 'do something else here instead';
       }
       add_filter('plugins_function', 'plugins_function_custom');
       ```
   
 * Any help on this would be great!
