Worried about content theft

    Have received a message from someone today regarding people may be able to steal content (images) uploaded to the site!

    I have implemented “disable right click” which has worked but when visiting “site:examplewebsite.com” it allows you to right click and save.

    The message I received;
    Hi, I was able to get via dev tools (appreciate most wouldn’t have a clue) and I it looks like Google is indexing them (try searching ‘site:examplewebsite.com.’ and clicking Images). I’m a bit nervy about going ahead and loading when there’s a hires ver with no watermarking being made available like that.

    ^ QUESTION, how can I stop the pictures being able to be accessed liked this and through google images too!?

    Note: in the search of a good trust worthy watermark plugin that isn’t going to crash the site due to high amount of pictures.
    If you have any suggestions for this as well much appreciated?!

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host dronepick.com.au on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions. You can learn more about the performance and security benefits of our managed hosting here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, and we offer a migration plugin that will help you move your site to our managed hosting in just a few clicks.

    The Move to WordPress.com plugin allows you to start migrating a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com directly from the self-hosted site. Prerequisites The Move to WordPress.com plugin installed on your self-hosted WordPress site. All incompatible plugins deactivated on the self-hosted site. ✅ There is no need to create a site on WordPress.com before you get star

    Unfortunately though, as it stands now, we are not able to help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help.

    Thanks!
