  Hello,

  I have been using wordpress for my blog for several years, but more and more people are downloading or “click and dragging” my images to their computers without my approval. How can I block right click copy as well as drag and drop. Please note that I am on .com and not .org so I can’t use a plugin…

  Thanks!!!

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

  There is no way to stop image downloads on the internet. Even those “block right click” plugins are ineffective. If an image is on the internet, it can be downloaded.

  I would encourage you to place a watermark on your images if you are worried about them being used without your permission.
