  Hi @soniyak, the reader won’t display any of your widgets. If you want to put a copyright notice there, I’d recommend including it in each post.

  Do Copyright plugins cover the Reader interface/ WordPress app then?

  No, the Reader only includes the content of your posts, so if you wanted that, you’d need to add the copyright statement to the end of every post.

  Thank you for your quick reply.
  So if the person reads the post through the reader window, can he copy the content of the post easily in spite of me buying the copyright plugin for the browser?

  Yes, copyright notices do not prevent text from being copied, really nothing does because it’s always accessible in the source no matter what you do, no plugin can prevent that.
