 * In my very first CPT plugin, I tried
 *     ```
       add_filter('the_content', 'my_fun');
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       function my_fun($content){
       print_r($content); // Returns blank ???
       }
       ```
   
 * Should $content be blank? Doesn’t it suppose to return data like `get_page( $
   page_id );`

 * Had to place it in the loop
 *     ```
       while (have_posts()){
                                                       the_post();
                                                       the_content();
                                                   }
       ```
   
 * Got resolved 🙂
