Biggest opportunity: Swap “content protection” and “copyright” for “ie9” and “rdf”. “content protection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ie9” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “copyright” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rdf” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 674.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

This only infuriates users, and does nothing to prevent copying text from the html directly. Do Not use!

Muy bueno! Solo hay un detalle que es en celular cuando lo abres en firefox el muestra el alerta solo que por debajo aparece las opciones de ver, descargar, etc. Asi que le das en aceptar puedes usar las opciones que tendria que bloquiar. Mas sacando ese detalle en el resto bloquea bien, espero que en una nueva actualizacion lo arreglen. Saludos y felicitaciones!

Stay away from this plugin! Is the worst plugin from all wordpress! I download the free version and when i try to create a post… i see a big banner that saids “Sorry, you are not authorized to access this area! Goodbye! Protect your online content with Wp content copy protection pro! Basically they put a code on my theme and now is impossible to delete this banner from all my pages when i try to do a post. I read another a similar issue with this plugin from another person and they say is a “cache issue”…. no is not! I can see the code inserted on my theme, now i need to pay a developer to delete this code from my website because is impossible to find the folder. Please don’t use Wp Content Copy Protection, you will have an automatic promotional banner on your pages if you don’t get the pro version.
