How To Prevent WP Content From Theft

There are a couple of WP plugins that protect your original WP content from being stolen. I have tried two of the plugins and will share my experience.

WP-CopyProtect

This plugin works just fine. It protects your blog content from being copied and stops the Copy Cats. It disables selection of the text and right click on your website. Here are the steps you need to follow in order to install the plugin:

1. Upload wp-copyprotect.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings and then WP-CopyProtect to configure and enable.

WP-PreventCopyBlogs

I’ve just installed this plugin. It offers a bit more than the WP-CopyProtect since apart from not allowing your content to be copied, it tracks the visitors who try to copy your content. The plugin makes records of the user’s ip from where the user tries to fraudulent copy with landing url of your site and referral url. You can also display a message if you like when someone tries to copy your content. It actually allows selection of text despite that it says, it does not, but disables the right click option.

1. Upload wp-PreventCopyBlogs.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings and then WP-CopyProtect to configure.
4. You have to provide your database details. For this,You have to create a mysql database under a user and all information in the settings page. Failing to do so, the plugin will work but it wont track the information of your fraudulent visitors.
5. If you need to track the visitors,you can either open your database from console or phpadmin page or from the admin page itself.You can see three columns -ip,referral_url and relative url which are for ip of the visitor,which website has referred you and the page ,he is currently viewing.
6. There is an added feature of displaying entries in database in the admin panel itself. You don’t need to login to your database any more.
