By default, Wordpress make a private or protected post title look like this:

(Private) MyBlogEntryTitle

I’ve hacked it to look like this:

MyBlogEntryTitle (Private)

Really simple, really.

The hack is to wp-includes/post-template.php, where I change the get_the_title() function to read:

function get_the_title( $id = 0 ) {
        $post = &get_post($id);

        $title = $post->post_title;

        if ( !is_admin() ) {
                // 2008-08-31, RS, moved Protected and Private text to end of title
                if ( !empty($post->post_password) )
                        $title = sprintf(__('%s (Protected)'), $title);
                else if ( isset($post->post_status) && 'private' == $post->post_status )
                        $title = sprintf(__('%s (Private)'), $title);
        }
        return apply_filters( 'the_title', $title );
}

Yeah, yeah, I know the curly braces should be on their own line but I’m not fixing Wordpress’ code formatting, just its functionality.

Mostly just documenting this so I don’t forget, ’specially as I need to do an upgrade of this blog to 3.6.2.  A little inline documentation goes a long way, though.
