    Not possible neither in WP, nor in any other website. At least I've never seen any solution that really works.

      LOL, guess you haven't done much research on this subject or visited any websites like istockphoto or the likes to see they have disabled saving images pretty effectively...

    Hi,

    There are plugins that allow you to block right clicking and dragging, but then someone can just take a screenshot.

    Using watermarks is probably the best defense (that and not worrying about it too much).

      Ya, thats fine for me. I just want that people cant right click or drag. Screenshots if they take its fine. Never mind about that - can you name that plugin please.

      Also, nice idea "using watermarks" I will try this !

    Agreed. Their are strategies to make it harder, but nothing that will completely lock them. Either watermark them or don't display them if you don't want them stolen.

    Here's the rule of thumb: if a browser has to display it, it has to have an address. If there's an address, it's reachable.

    You can pretty much assume that if you post it on the web, it's fair game, like it or not.

    So the short answer is, no, there's not way to lock an image.

    Hi,
    From what i know, the things that appears on a page in the browser reaces in the client computer, temporary files, and can be easily copied, or if he/she knows some web development, it can get the image by accessing directly the address that appears in source code.
    So, it cannot be locked.
