  Hi there!

  This is not possible on WordPress.com. (There are plugins on self-hosted WordPress.org sites for this, which may be what you’re thinking of.)

  However, even when you enable something like that, people can get around it and it can’t truly prevent copying of content.

  We have some suggestions here about how to protect your content: https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  What’s best for your wordpress.com hosted blog is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text that you don’t want stolen on the internet at all.

  If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled via CSS but that’s not available on any other themes. This is because anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat.

  For clarity you can read what Staff said here about Duotone https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-disable-right-click-on-photos?replies=5#post-1659713 but in the end the effect still means the answer is the same one I posted above.
