Protect your WordPress site against right clicks, text selection, and image dragging.

== Description ==

WP-Protect is a plugin for WordPress websites that allows webmasters to protect their content from being stolen. More specifically, it allows webmasters to disable right clicking abilities for their website visitors, along with a few other things like image dragging and text selection. These features are accomplished by way of javascript coding, so this plugin may not work for some visitors who have disabled javascript in their browser. While some webmasters feel that these types of scripts are pointless as “savvy” visitors can either disable javascript or “view source” in order to steal your content, we disagree for two reasons. Firstly, the vast majority of internet users are not aware of how to do either of these two things, and are usually the people who unwittingly go around stealing content without thinking twice about it. Secondly, “savvy” visitors will at least be aware that you are closely watching your content for theft, and will indeed think twice about stealing your content, at least without attaching some sort of source attribution. In any case, such a plugin is in high demand for people trying to cut down on “duplicate content” penalties on search engines that are ironically taken against their very own website, even though they are the original authors of said content.

Just thought this might be useful to other webmasters out there who are using the WP-PostRatings plugin by Lester Chan, and who are using a dark WordPress theme.

I have redone the star graphics to have a dark (black #000000) background so they  blend properly with a dark WordPress theme.

Here they are, simply replace these files under wp-postratings/images/stars/

Cheers.

I figured out this valuable little WordPress tidbit which I think may help others out there, as I didn’t find anyone else blogging about it.

The Facebook Share feature is quite useful to implement both for your readers’ sake and also in order to drive more traffic to your website as a webmaster. It usually is pretty intelligent at choosing a thumbnail to go along with a shared item, and even allows users to change the thumbnail to one of a few images it finds on any given web page.

However, for video posts, like ones you might publish using WordPress, it usually can’t find a proper thumbnail. Instead of manually adding a thumbnail image to your post which is pretty messy, you can use the “custom fields” in WordPress to specify a thumbnail for your post.

For this to work site-wide, you will need to use the same custom field thumbnail “key” for every video post. In other words, always name your custom field “thumbnail” or such, and don’t use a different field name on other posts.

After you specify an image URL for this “thumbnail” custom field key, you may use the below code, placed in your template’s header.php file, in order to generate “shareable” Facebook thumbnails:

<link rel=”image_src” href=”<?php $key=”thumbnail”; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>” / >

For the record, if you are using the Get The Image plugin by Justin Hadlock, you may also assign this custom field to be used to generate homepage and/or archive thumbnails to display alongside your WordPress video posts. Again, this assumes that no other images are present in your so-called “video posts.”

Hope this helps someone. Good luck.
