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.
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.
This plugin is not working for me. What did I do wrong?
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)?
It shows 4 digits for me.
