If you want to remove the word "Protected" or "Private" from the post title, simply go to the wp-includes folder and edit the post-template.php file. Use the "find" function in your editor to search for the word "Protected". Keep going until you find it in the following string:
if ( !empty($post->post_password) ) {
$protected_title_format = apply_filters('protected_title_format', __('Protected: %s'));
$title = sprintf($protected_title_format, $title);
} else if ( isset($post->post_status) && 'private' == $post->post_status ) {
$private_title_format = apply_filters('private_title_format', __('Private: %s'));
$title = sprintf($private_title_format, $title);
}
}
Simply remove the word "Protected:" or "Private:" and save and upload to the wp-includes directory. The words will then no longer show up in your title.
