Simple Feed Copyright: Wordpress Plugin


This is a wordpress plugin that will add a simple copyright notice at end of full text articles in your atom / RSS feed. A notice gets attached at the bottom of feed articles – “Copyright Year. BlogName. All Rights Reserved”. The BlogName is linked to your blog url.

Installation
1. Unzip the download package
2. Upload the folder including all files to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Check your feed, where the notice should be live now.

How many blogs use this plugin?
Download stats reveal that over 1600 blogs might be using it.

Why do I need this plugin?
It has become common practice to add a copyright notice at end of articles in your full text atom or RSS feeds, to discourage content theft and feed scrapping sites from republishing your copyrighted content. This plugin inserts a simple copyright notice, and the link will pingback when the feed is republished elsewhere.

Can I do this without a plugin?
Most plugins are hacks to the wordpress code. If you are not comfortable editing the wordpress core files , then this wordpress plugin is the simplest solution for you.

    Can’t you just use the_content_rss filter instead of checking to see if it’s a feed?

    Thanks for the plugin. Right now, it places a link to the homepage of the blog.

    What would be the code to add the following additional information:

    1. A link to the article itself using the article title for the hyperlink.

    2. A link to the tags used and the category it belongs to.

    Thanks

    thanks, I’ll be using this on 2 of my sites.

    In an earlier comment sarah asked about having a link in the post. Good idea but I see most people using my articles as text, removing all formatting and links that I had included.

    Yes, it’s real, I know!

  15. Bob says:

    This plugin is not working for me. What did I do wrong?

  16. Bronson says:

    Hi there, just have to say thanks for saving me from having to edit a core file now and every other time I upgrade WordPress.

    At least if they want to scrape my content now, I’ll get a link back to the original of the particular item in question.

    This is super handy and I’ll definitely share this little gem.

    how do I make this plugin show the four-digit year in the copyright notice rather than just the last two digits (i.e.., 2009 versus 09)?

  18. DMAN says:

    For some reason the plug-in will not work in Firefox 3(I have 3.0.5). Meaning it does not give you a clickable link back to your website. All it does, is show you the following in normal ANSI/Text format.

    ©2009 “Your Blog Title” All Rights Reserved.

    But it works fine in IE7.

    thanks for the plugin

  20. I’m going to try to get this to work on my blog. I’ve just had someone take part of my tutorial and put it on their blog which has outraged me! But after calming down and having a friend of mine send me this link I think now that at least there’s something that can be done. Thanks for info. jj

  21. GBP Shopper says:

    I also cannot see the link in FF, but it is in IE. Strange. Any ideas why? I have just installed WP 2.8.5 and this plugin today, so maybe an issue with latest version?

    And the official seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for blacks in June 2009 was almost twice as high as the jobless rate for whites. ,
