  I would like to find a way to protect my images on my blog by disabling the right click. Is this a function on certain templates or is there something I can do to add this to my blog? Thanks

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

  Hi there,

  I would highly recommend adding a watermark to your images to protect your images. It wouldn’t be possible to disable the right-click, but even if you did you could easily take a screenshot of the image, which is why the watermark is always the best way to protect your images.

  Please note that it’s against the law in the United States and in many other countries to reproduce text or images created by someone else without their permission, even if you provide a citation.

  Here’s some information about Fair Use from the U.S. Copyright Office:

  If you find that anyone on WordPress.com is using your images without your permission, you can file a DMCA notice here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
