How can we get rid of the word "Protected" in the headline of password posts?

    We use password protected posts on the Debut theme. Unfortunately, the system put the word “Protected” in the headline (in our Danish “Beskyttet”). It does not look pretty, so can we get rid of the automatically generated word?

    Another question in same context: Is it possible to protect an entire category of entries with a single password, so you only need to type your password into one place?

    Hi there,

    You may be able to change the word “Protected” with the use of CSS code in your Custom Design add on.

    You can get help on what specific CSS code you should use by checking out the CSS Customization forum right here:

    You can browse around and see if anyone has already asked that question, and if not you can ask yourself!

    In regards to protecting the entire category of entries, as long as you protect each entry with the same password, when someone enters that password, any entry which uses that password will be unlocked, so they will only have to enter it once. Was that the behavior you were hoping for?

    Hi,

    Followed your advice and found – somewhat disappointing – the answer to the same question from other WP users:
    < blockquote >No there is not a way to get rid of “protected.” That is done by the WordPress core software and is not something that can be hidden via CSS.
    The good question is why WP put “protected” in the title. We do not need the information in the header, since the following text clearly explains the readers about the requirement for password.

    Your answer to the second question of protecting an entire Category of pages with password, is so far ok. However, for graphical reasons we would prefer the password placed in the category, rather than – as now – risking 10, maybe 20 equal password fields in a row that refers to each post.

    We will be pleased if you good WP-people would consider the simple solution of placing a password in the category.

    Thank you.
