  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.

  That CANNOT be done here at wordpress.COM because we do not have access to the underlying wordpress script files. It only works with self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.
