FAQ

Can I enable restrictions on specific pages?

Yes! CopyBlocker Pro includes a per-post metabox where you can choose from: Use Global Settings, Disabled, Full Protection, Text Protection Only, or Image Protection Only.

Can I exclude certain pages from protection?

Yes! The new Exclusion Rules tab lets you exclude specific post/page IDs, slugs, entire post types, categories, or tags from protection.

How does image watermarking work?

When enabled, CopyBlocker Pro uses HTML Canvas to overlay your custom watermark text on all images for non-logged-in visitors. No server-side processing is needed. You can customize the text, opacity, font size, and position (including a tiled diagonal pattern).

Is the plugin translatable?

Yes, CopyBlocker Pro is translation-ready and includes support for languages like Bangla (bn_BD). You can contribute translations using .po and .mo files.

Will this affect admin or logged-in users?

No. All restrictions are applied only to public-facing parts of your site for non-logged-in users. Admins and editors are unaffected while working in the dashboard.

How do I disable only right-click but allow text selection?

In the plugin settings, uncheck “Disable Selection” but leave “Block Right Click” checked.

Can I completely block screenshots?

The plugin attempts to detect the PrintScreen key, but browser and OS limitations may allow screenshots via external tools. Consider enabling the watermark feature for additional protection.

Can I block printing or image downloads?

Yes, you can block print actions (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) and prevent image downloads or drag-to-download actions via the settings panel.

What are Protection Statistics?

The Statistics tab shows how many copy/download attempts have been blocked in the last 7 days, which page is most targeted, and a daily breakdown chart. You can reset stats at any time.
