Tip for the week

WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click Plugins will not protect you from Scrapers, in fact NO plugin can do that.

What you need to do would be to change your RSS Feed Settings as this will at least slow them down and make it more difficult to scrape your content.

Those automation bots that scrapers use are for the most part focused on getting your beautiful images.  Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop them doing it, BUT you can at least make it difficult for them and slow them down to some degree.

Make sure to change your RSS feed to ONLY show a summary of your post in stead of showing those scrapers your full blog post content. 

Now should they still want to scrape your post/s, they need to send an automated bot scraper and it's extra work and steps for them which may (hopefully) deter them to somewhat.

Now how to go about to change that setting:

• In your left admin sidebar, go to Settings > Reading.
• Under ‘For each article in a feed, show’ select ‘Summary’ or maybe you have the word 'Excerpt' - it's the same thing.
• Scroll down and click the Save Changes button

Once you have done this, please take another moment and make sure that this change does not affect anything else on your site!  If you need some more detailed information check out How to Display Post Excerpts in WordPress Themes.

I hope this tip will be something that will help you.  I will share more each week.
