  I run the personal finance site HumbleDollar.com. Another site — https://archienickel.wordpress.com — is stealing entire articles from my site without permission. It’s now happened five times.

  For instance, this morning I posted this article:

  Running in Place

  It immediately appeared at:
  https://archienickel.wordpress.com/2018/09/13/running-in-place/

  We all appreciate it when other sites link to our own. But bloggers shouldn’t be stealing entire articles without permission. How can I stop this? Does WordPress police bad behavior by its bloggers?
