Image Protection
-
Hi,
I use my website as a platform on which I exhibit my artworks and designs. As I’m using Fontfolio theme, it seems that image protection is limited. I seek to ensure that all my works are protected from being downloaded or saved to anyone else’s computer.
The problem is, as I’ve encrypted all the media files before uploading them onto the website for display, after confirming with a few friends on test-downloading and test-viewing them on their computers, they are still able to save and view them offline.
Instead of using a watermark banner, after consulting a chat agent, I’m advised to use CSS editor via Customise to develop controls over uses of media files as displayable on the website.
I hereby would like to inquire and obtain instructions on using CSS editor to develop controls. Specific controls that I need are as follows.
1. Disable Right Click Option, and subsequently Disable Save/Download Image
2. Disable View Full Size, leaving the Carousel Slideshow/gallery the only option to view each image at a regular zoom
3. Virtually Render all the media files as Protected despite encryption failing from my side.I would very much appreciate any help.
Thanks and regards
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there harshavardhanmoghe,
Try adding this code to your CSS file and see if it works. If not, sorry.
1. Eliminate right click:
.body { -webkit-user-select: none; -moz-user-select: none; -ms-user-select: none; -o-user-select: none; user-select: none; }2. Disable full view size
.jp-carousel-wrap a.jp-carousel-image-download { display:none; }3. Virtually Render all the media files as Protected
Sorry, I’ll need to look further into that.

Disable full view size works.
Eliminate right click does not work, as I simply copied and pasted your script onto CSS Editor, and then saved/published.

Apparently, when I revisit Customise > CSS Editor, the following is shown.
/*
Welcome to Custom CSS!To learn how this works, see http://wp.me/PEmnE-Bt
*/
.body {
}.jp-carousel-wrap a.jp-carousel-image-download {
display: none;
}I think that the lines between body { and } are disappearing.

This isn’t truly possible, especially if you have a public blog accessible to everyone.
The above methods by @zedvideo will also not really help, because there are several other methods through which any image can be downloaded. They also show up in search engines, and can be cached.
The best method would be to set your blog as private and grant access to only specific people.
If that’s not possible, try uploading only limited resolution images, so the high-resolution ones don’t get copied/saved.

May I also add something here please?
What’s best for your wordpress.com hosted blog is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text you don’t want stolen on the internet at all. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/19/watermark-your-blog-images/ See also http://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/
If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled via CSS. It’s not available on any other themes. That 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.

Oh, watermarking, definitely yes! A good measure to protect your property. Thanks for the addition, timethief!
