    How do can you stop people from saving your images. Is there a way on wordpress to disable the right click so when you click on the image a “sorry cannot do ” warning comes up. I don’t mind people using some of my images it’s just the personal pohtography ones I want to stop people from been able to save.

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

    Not possible, I’m sorry. And even if it were possible, there still plenty of screen capture software around that accomplishes the same trick. The only way to make people not save your images is to not publish them on your blog. In any case I suggest using an imaging software that “watermarks” your images and thus renders them more or less useless for others.

    There IS a way to disable right-click, save as. The thing is, doing that doesn’t offer very much protection; it only stops really dumb, ignorant, or lazy people. I’m no hacker and I can get around that in less than a minute.

    That said, those people are much more likely to try to steal your images in the first place.

    Use Duotone or Monotone and people will only be able to right-click, save as on your most recent picture, and then only on the left hand side of it.

    And please do a search before posting in the forum. The forums have been here for quite a long time and many topics have been covered repeatedly. Just doing a search in the box at the top of the page on “image protection” brought up this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-protect-pics-against-copy?replies=22#post-72155

    Cheers!
