Saved a lot of hassle
by iainm·4 years ago
It just works! I used it with the Overlay Theme, and WordPress 5.7.1., with no issues whatsoever. Previously I had been trying to do something with CSS but without success, until I found this.
Nice one!
Works Instantly!

I wasn’t willing to mess with changing the coding to get rid of that stupid PROTECTED label on password protected pages. It disappeared as soon as I installed and activated this. Thank you!!
So-o-o-o easy!

Easiest plugin ever! I wanted to get rid of the alarming “Protected” in my page title. It was confusing for website visitors. I installed the plugin, activated it and boom! The Protected was gone. I didn’t have to do anything at all. Thanks!!
Works beautifully and effortlessly

I was frustrated to see all my private pages have “Protected” in the title. A quick google to try to find the CSS led me here, which was much easier! Thank you!

And still compatible with modern versions of WP. I used it successfully with 4.9.4.
