How to protect content on Wordpress?

Hello,

I run membership site based on Wordpress + Membership software. I'm just wondering what is the best way to protect your content before it's copied?

I know this is almost imposible, but still it will be great to insert something like PDF file in wordpress site and make it 'not downloadable'? It should be little harder then to just pressctrl + c and copy whole page ;-)



Thx for tips

Bye :-)

    You can disable the ctrl - C in the browser, but there are also ways around that. No matter how much you lock something down someone will find a work around.

    Don't get caught up in worrying about people stealing your content, worry more about providing qualit content and service and the people worth keeping will stay those that steal your content and leave aren't worth having as members anyway.

    Focus on quality and great service and you'll do well.

    You didn't say WHAT membership software you're using, so it's a little hard to be specific. There are third-party solutions available for securing your links. Wil Mattos has a couple (can't think of the name off-hand).

    However, RAP has RAPress available that integrates with Wordpress. RAPress comes bundled with SecureDL, which is another script that lets you hide your DL links on your download pages.

    That said, once anybody downloads your files, they can upload them anywhere. So this is only marginal protection against someone who is determined to "share" your products. It's easier for them to share login info.

    As far as PDFs go, I'm not sure there's anything that lets you view a PDF file inside a web page without downloading it to the browser first. You'd need some kind of an embedded reader. I've not heard of such a critter, although maybe one exists.
