Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

398 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 284 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   The plugin provides the content protection we need, and has an email wall feature you can use to collect an email address before showing protected content. We also had 1 bug to report and the plugins developers were professional and quickly provided a patch. There are only a couple of things that might need working around for the email wall: When setting up the Mailchimp integration, make sure to fill both the Username and API key fields. It’s not clear that both fields (not just the API key) are required to use the integration. You need this before you can select the email list on your Mailchimp account. Once someone submits the email form, it does open up the content, but only temporarily. If the same user comes back that link later, they’ll have to submit their email again. This isn’t clear at first. For the user, it would be nice if this plugin could remember that a user had already entered their email.

   Les paramètres sélectionnés, tout comme les messages d’alerte, ne sont pas mémorisés. La seule façon de les modifier est de le faire dans la base de données 🙁

   option are flipping back to unticked, useless ! Terrible plugin ! Don’t use it, because it is not working at all. All options are unticked, tick all options, but they are unticked after refresh page.

   This plugin is a waste of time. I don’t see how disabling right-click menu option will prevent save, copy, download by more than a score of different methods for exploiting web content and media. For example there are about 100 screen capture apps and about a 100 media and site downloaders that will collect everything on your website. On Windows one only has to look in the browser cache folder! This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by Kendo2.
