  Hello!

  This article lists the best ways to block photo theft.

  Basically though, as the forum postexplains, its basically impossible to stop people from copying your images.

  Right clicking cannot be disables in WordPress. The best way to prevent theft is to watermark your images, or keep them low enough pixel count to not be useful to anyone else.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi andriagraphic,

  In addition to watermarking, I would also recommend adding a clear copyright notice to your site. We have a template you can use here:

  Prevent Content Theft

  Your theme supports two widget areas — sidebar and footer. A copyright notice could be added there or depending on how much you want to write, you could create a copyright page and add a link to it in your menu.

  I hope this helps.

  theblakesheep — thanks for your suggestions!

  I can’t create a watermark, my photos that I want to protect are basically like infographics, they must be clear to be readable…

  But I quite like the idea of creating a new page for that kind of things…

  Legal

  Thanks both of you :)
