Checking for the functions

First thing you need to do is check if your theme has a functions.php file.

Here's how you check:

• Login to your WordPress admin panel
• Click Appearance
• Then Editor

You will see the list of template files on the right side. If you see the file functions.php then you're good to go.

Coding Time

If there is not a functions.php file in your theme then create one and add:

<?php

 ?>

In between the php tags add:

/* just in case I forget to capitilize */
add_filter('the_content', ucfirst);
/* just in case I forget to capitilize the title */
add_filter('the_title', ucfirst);
/* just in case commenters forget to capitilize */
add_filter('comment_text', ucfirst);

Then upload the functions.php file to you theme directory via FTP.

The functions.php file is the first file called by WordPress in your theme.

Now to explain some of the magic!

The easy way.... excerpt from WordPress codex:

Filters are the hooks that WordPress launches to modify text of various types before adding it to the database or sending it to the browser screen.

ucfirst is a Php function that makes a string's first character uppercase.
