 * I am trying to figure out how to change the text inserted in a password protected
   post from “This post is password protected. To view it please enter the password
   bellow” to anything I want. I know there have been postings on this before, but
   cant find one for the latest version of wordpress (2.8.4) and the previous postings
   dont seem to solve it on the latest version. I am using a modified neoclassical
   template. site is [http://www.mgfra.org](http://www.mgfra.org)
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * Thanks for the help on that. I was able to change the text, but is there a way
   to change the bold print stating “Protected: _page title_” ?
 * Thanks again,
    Peter

 * This should work if your language is English:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'protected_title_format', 'proctected_post_title_override' );
       function proctected_post_title_override( $c ) {
       	return str_replace( 'Protected: ', '', $c );
       }
       ```
