#12: protected_title_format

The protected_title_format filter allows you to modify the text that gets prepended to a post title if it is password protected. The default is ‘Protected: [Post Title]’.

It is evaluated in get_the_title() in the wp-includes/post-template.php file.

Example:

Let’s say you’re using password-protected content in the context of it being “members-only” — that is, only members have the password(s). The following example would change the prepended text from ‘Protected: [Post Title]’ to ‘Members Only: [Post Title]’.

#11: http_response

The http_response filter makes it possible to manipulate the response array returned by a wp_remote_request()/WP_Http::request() call.

It is evaluated in the private WP_Http::_dispatch_request() method, which is called by WP_Http::request() in wp-includes/class-http.php file.

The http_response filter accepts three arguments:

  1. array $response The response array
  2. array $args An array of arguments (see wp_remote_request() in wp-includes/http.php)
  3. string $url The URL to request

Example:

Let’s say you’re pinging some external site and displaying the body of the requested site somewhere but you only want to display the content if it is actually valid — say, based on whether the status code is 200, 301, or 302. For any other status code, you want to override the body of the http response with some general template.
