About this plugin
TG Copy Protection plugin provides various ways to protect the contents of your website.
Once installed, the settings of the TG Copy Protection plugin would be available for being changed from the ‘TG Copy Protection’ option in the ‘Settings’ menu on the admin screen (back-end) of your WordPress website or blog.
Usually, every website allows for free copying of its contents. However, there may be certain websites which may not be willing to allow copying of its contents due to various reasons. TG Copy Protection plugin is meant for such websites which want to block copying of its contents to a normal visitor.
This plugin allows you to copy-protect the content of your WordPress website or blog in one of the following manners and you can change this setting at any time:
- Enable copy protection by disabling mouse and key commands for copying, printing, saving, source-code, etc. When this option is selected, TG Copy Protection will not allow copying of contents of your website by keyboard commands (such as Ctrl-C) or by mouse commands. In fact, with this option selected, one cannot highlight or select any text from your posts or pages. Thus, copying of your contents will be blocked. This method takes care of various copying methods, such as by Ctrl-C, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X, printing page from browser by Ctrl-P, saving files from browser by Ctrl-S, viewing source-code of web page by Ctrl-U, viewing page code in developer mode (such as by Ctrl-Shift-I in Google Chrome), mouse right-click, text-selection, drag and drop, etc.
- Enable copy protection by setting copied text to nothing, i.e., by emptying it. When this option is selected, TG Copy Protection uses another method to prevent copying of your content. In this method, when the user selects the text for copying, the text is allowed to be selected; however, the copied text is set to nothing, i.e., it is set to an empty string. So, when the user pastes this text in some other application or file, your copied contents will NOT get pasted.
- Disable copy protection, but append copyright text with page link to copied text. When this option is selected, TG Copy Protection plugin will disable the copy protection, i.e., it will allow copying of text. However, the plugin will append your copyright text and your page-link or backlink or credit-link (of the web page from where copying took place) to the copied text. Thus, when the user pastes the copied text in his application or file, the pasted text will include your page-link and copyright warning. This plugin gives you freedom to change what copyright text should appear appended to the copied text.
- Disable copy protection completely, i.e., allow full copying as it happens in most of websites normally. When this option is selected, TG Copy Protection plugin will do nothing, i.e., it will allow the normal working of the website, wherein its contents are allowed to be copied freely by any visitor to your site.
, it allows copying of text from your website. So, there is no need to uninstall or deactivate the plugin if you want to disable copy protection for some days or some time. Of course, if you want to completely disable copy protection forever, then you may like to deactivate / uninstall this plugin.
TG Copy Protection plugin works in the background of your website in the most unobtrusive manner. You only have to select some basic settings once and it is ready to start working to protect the contents of your website. Of course, you can change these basic settings any time later.
