fancy editor, it’s the “Add Topic” / “Reply to Topic” Editor at the bottom of every page.
Expanding my search to include all of WordPress resulted in this fine code I just plop in to my functions.php that’ll remove it:
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:#',
'#Privat:#'
);
// What to replace it with
$replacewith = array(
'a', // What to replace protected with
'b' // 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’);
