  I need to have password protected pages but I don’t like that those pages say ‘Protected: pagename.’ Is there any way to remove the word ‘Protected:’ before my page title?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there!

  It’s not possible to hide/remove the Protected prefix from password-protected pages.

  The WordPress.com Premium plan gives you access to custom CSS code, (It’s also available as an add-on) and it may be possible to hide that part of the page title using custom CSS, but it’s not foolproof, meaning it may not work as well as you’d expect, and the “Protected” prefix may still appear on your site.

  The reason the prefix can’t easily be removed is that it’s built into the core WordPress code. So the most reliable way to remove the prefix is by adding a custom PHP script, which can be done with a WordPress.com Business plan or higher.

  How can I add the Navigation bar to the PASSWORD entry page so that users without a password can get back to other parts of the website?

  Hi @asgspacecoastwebmaster , since this is a different issue from the one in the original post, could you start a new topic here?

  You can add a “modlook” tag if you’d like to get staff attention.

  That way the people who have been working on this topic won’t get unwanted notifications as we troubleshoot your issue. Thanks!
