  Hello,

  If I put my mouse over a photo on my blog, the image name such as IMG_010 will appear. How do I disable this setting?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Everyone with internet access can right click any image and view it at full size.
  Example https://michelleleahming.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/img_73762.jpg?w=800

  Do you have a Business plan on that site? https://wordpress.om/pricing/
  I’m asking because if you do then you can install a plugin to disable right click ability. Otherwise you cannot.

  Additional information:
  If anyone is determined to commit content theft there is nothing that will be 100% effective at preventing it. all information of any kind on the internet can be copied by shooting a screenshot, regardless of any warning we may place on the site like copyright notices. See: Prevent Content Theft https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/

  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.

  hi,

  How are you uploading the images ?
  From an inspect of the object,
  https://screenshots.firefox.com/qPkhD2L0IFF4uI8v/null
  the image name seems to be derived from one of these attributes:
  data-image-title
  title
  alt

  Are you able to update the attributes while adding the image to your post ?
