I added WP-CopyRightPro to my blog and it isn't working properly. It use to work where it disabled the left click or right click and the right click still works however you just simply click on the picture now with the left click and then from there right click and save at full resolution. I want to disable right or left click on photos but I don't know how? I think I did something to my coding but I don't know when the change occurred and how to fix. I am a photographer and I want to protect my work!!
I am using Tofurious Soft Tofu 2.1 and my blog url is http://www.biancamariephotography.com/Blog. Please help protect my hard work!!
that doesn't protect your images at all.
In your situation I'd look at watermarking the images instead.

Is there no other solution? I know it is possible to protect the images by disabling the left and right click but I can't figure out how to do it myself. For example, see this blog... http://jcarmonphotography.com/blog/. She has her images protected.
If you are inserting images through media library make sure they don't have a link defined to them. Or the plugin you are using for images may have an option to not link to the image.
Maybe only upload image sizes as big as they need to be in the page. Still not super compressed, for good quality. But since its easy to bypass rightclick, etc at least they wont get a 2000px or something size image. If you need to show your awesome detail choose a select few and crop the area.

Yeah I've thought about just resizing the images to fit the blog so they can't access the full resolution image but it just causes more work for me. If that is my only option though then I'll probably resort to that and watermark them too. I just know it's possible and I know at one time the plug in did work for my blog, I just don't know what I did wrong to change it.

No it's not. Most of these "techniques" can be broken in a couple of seconds. Added to which, you shouldn't even try to cripple what your visitors can, or can't do, with their own web browsers. Some users rely heavily on context (right click) menus.
Bottom line: if you really don't want someone copying your images, don't put them on a web site.
You could block rightclick only on the imgs with jquery (youre already loading it anyways).
Into your header.php before <body>
This will cause nothing to happen when right clicking just an image, but normal behavior if rightclick elsewhere. I personally wouldn't put the popup message into it. It might scare people away with the usuability, or someone my feel like their being accused of theft when they just wanted to open a link in a new tab or go back instead of browser back button.
<script type="text/javascript">
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function()
{
$j("img").bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
return false;
});
});
</script>

You're right darrellonsite. I changed the pop up to just a copyright message.
esmi - did you check out the other blog I listed? I'm not looking to prevent hackers or computer pro's from stealing my images because that's not who would normally target my site. I'm looking to prevent my clients from taking the images. Most of my clients wouldn't even know how to copy an image if they really wanted to. Most people would just try to right click or simply click on the image and then when it goes to the second page (with just that image) then right click it from there. Hope this makes sense.
Well - I have a 10 year old who can get past most right-click disable techniques, if that helps. And I wouldn't call him a computer pro. ;-)
Watermarking your web-published images would be the best way of protecting your copyright/property. Preferably a semi-transparent layer that goes right across the image without obscuring too much. There are 1 or 2 plugins out there that claim to be able to apply such an "effect" to images automatically but I've never tried any of them, so couldn't say how effective they are.
Keeping the images below the size your clients might be tempted by would also help. Remember that you can limit the size of the full-size image via Settings/Media.
