// remove the filter 
remove_filter( 'post_updated_messages', 'filter_post_updated_messages', 10, 1 ); 
$messages['post'] = array(
    0  => '', // Unused. Messages start at index 1.
    1  => __( 'Post updated.' ) . $view_post_link_html,
    2  => __( 'Custom field updated.' ),
    3  => __( 'Custom field deleted.' ),
    4  => __( 'Post updated.' ),
    /* translators: %s: date and time of the revision */
    5  => isset( $_GET['revision'] ) ? sprintf( __( 'Post restored to revision from %s.' ), wp_post_revision_title( (int) $_GET['revision'], false ) ) : false,
    6  => __( 'Post published.' ) . $view_post_link_html,

   . '</strong>' ) . $scheduled_post_link_html,
 ), wp_post_revision_title( (int) $_GET['revision'], false ) ) : false,
   . '</strong>' ) . $scheduled_page_link_html,
 ) ); // Hack, for now.
