 * As a temporary workaround I just added the text in the jpg image itself, and 
   re-uploaded it. Still would like to have a better flexibility though to do this
   via the style sheet and/or functions.

 * Hi drumzonfire, did you manage to find a solution to change the black content
   background in this theme? I would like to change it to gray, but did not yet 
   find a way how to do this.
    Apart from that, I love the theme. Thanks, AC

 * It’s not really recommended to modify the core wordpress files. Firstly because
   of the risk of breaking something, secondly because your changes will get lost
   the next time you do an WP upgrade.

 * I found another way to remove the word Protected from the beginning of the post
   name.
    Credits don’t go to me, I just found the work from someone else (can’t
   find the data right now, to provide credits to the one who owns it, sorry). It’s
   less elegant than the PPP plugin, but at least provides a workaround for now.
 * Deactivate the plugin.
    Insert in the below code in your theme’s function.php
   file (not the core file):
 *     ```
       function the_title_trim($title) {
       	// Might aswell make use of this function to escape attributes
       	$title = attribute_escape($title);
       	// What to find in the title
       	$findthese = array(
       		'#Protected:#', // # is just the delimeter
       		'#Private:#'
       	);
       	// What to replace it with
       	$replacewith = array(
       		'', // What to replace protected with
       		'' // What to replace private with
       	);
       	// Items replace by array key
       	$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
       	return $title;
       }
       add_filter('the_title', 'the_title_trim');
       ```
   
 * If I have some more time I will try to fix the plugin if the original creator
   should not be supporting it any longer.

 * Although not the most pretty way to achieve what I wanted, I managed to find 
   a “work-around”. Inside the **Facebook Connect** plugin I’m now just setting 
   the cookie after a succesful FB login
 * `setcookie('wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH, 'post_password', time() + 3600, COOKIEPATH);`
 * It does the trick what I was looking for.
    I now either provide the protected
   page password to visitors (without facebook), or my friends can login through
   facebook and are not bothered by a password request. The post remains closed 
   for the general public.
 * It’s not so much about the security, but I would like to have some control who
   can access the onfo. Visitors coming through FB are logged.

 * I’ll have to dig a little into this. I realized I was editing core files (and
   taking the risk to loose this again after the next upgrade), something I would
   prefer to avoid. Didn’t see another option though…
    It seems however that the
   decision to replace content by the password request form is made in the core 
   of WP. The theme only deals with how it is being presented, I noticed $content
   was replaced by the password form on protected posts. With the theme (or some
   plugin) you can just manipulate a little how the password required message and
   form look like. But, I’ll continue searching.
 * Using private posts is an alternative, but I would for the time being prefer 
   to use protection as well. That way I can just share the password with some friends
   and family, without requiring them to use a userid and login (of course, this
   does have advantages for me, because it allows site-visits to be tracked much
   more detailed)
 * I’m a little surprised not more people asked for this (or at least, I could not
   find it).
 * Anyway, thanks for your support. I’ll try to search further. When (if….) I find
   a solution I’ll share it through this post.

 * Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. I indeed found post_password_required() in my
   template (wp-includes/post-template.php).
    Modified it at several places to read
   the below, but still not the desired effect 🙁
 *     ```
       // If post password required and it doesn't match the cookie.
       	if (!is_user_logged_in() ){
               if ( post_password_required($post)  ) {
       		$output = get_the_password_form();
       		return $output;
       	}
           }
       ```

 * Same here. Just noticed this post, after having submitting one myself. I just
   did the upgrade to WP 2.8
    The galleries on my posts do show the thumbnails fine,
   but clicking on them brings you straight to the jpg file, rather than showing
   them in the effect box format I was used to when running 2.7.

 * Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that for the time being.
