When a visitor selects text in one of your posts and copies it, Rapls Copy Notice\nrecords what was copied and from which post, and tells you by email.\nIt does not stop anyone from copying. Readers can still select, copy and\nright-click as usual; you simply find out which passages are being taken.<\/p>\n\n
Everything described above is free, with no trial and no limits tied to an\nupgrade, and this plugin does not need anything else to work. Rapls Copy Notice\nPro is a separate plugin, sold on the author's website, for sites that want to\nact on copies:<\/p>\n\n
One-time purchase, no subscription. Details: https:\/\/raplsworks.com\/rapls-copy-notice-pro-en\/<\/p>\n\n
The plugin's screen has a Pro features<\/strong> tab describing the add-on, and short\nnotes about it on the Log and Notifications tabs and in its row on the Plugins\nscreen. All of them disappear once the add-on is active, and the\n rapls_cn_show_upsell filter hides them (return Each copy also records a fingerprint of the paragraph it came from: a SHA-1 hash\nof that paragraph's text, worked out in the reader's browser. The paragraph\nitself is not stored. In the log, Copies of this paragraph<\/strong> lists every copy\ntaken from the same paragraph. Browsers only offer the hashing function on HTTPS\npages, so sites served over plain HTTP record copies without it.<\/p>\n\n Values that came from a visitor's browser are passed to these hooks as stored.\nEscape them for wherever you output them.<\/p>\n\n Everything a copy report contains comes from the visitor's browser, so the\nplugin treats all of it as untrusted.<\/p>\n\n Rapls Copy Notice sets no cookies and stores nothing in the visitor's\nbrowser. To enforce the rate limits, the site keeps a one-way hash of each\nvisitor's IP address (of its \/64 block for IPv6) for up to an hour, in a\ncounter that then expires. The optional reader message and source link use\nonly the post's own title and URL and your text; they record nothing extra.\nThis plugin never contacts any external service: copy reports go only to your\nown site, and notifications are sent with WordPress's own mail function,\nthrough whatever mail system the site uses (an SMTP plugin or email service,\nfor example). Suggested wording for your privacy policy is added to\nSettings \u2192 Privacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n An add-on can send notifications elsewhere: Rapls Copy Notice Pro, for\nexample, sends them to the chat services or webhook you switch on. It then\nchanges the suggested privacy policy wording to name those services and what\nthey receive.<\/p>\n\n\n No, and it is not meant to. Blocking selection or right-click gets in the way of\nordinary readers and does not stop anyone determined. This plugin only tells you\nwhat is being copied.<\/p><\/dd>\n Log out, or use a private window, since administrators and editors are ignored\nby default. Copy at least 20 characters from the body of a single post or page. If your\ntheme does not use Use Send a test email<\/strong> on the Notifications tab. It sends a short fixed\nmessage to the notification address. If it does not arrive, check the spam\nfolder and the site's email settings; many hosts need an SMTP plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Summaries are sent by WP-Cron, which runs when someone visits the site. On a\nsite with little traffic, the email goes out with the first visit after it is due.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin does not send anything to analytics services itself. It does fire a\n rapls-cn:copy event on the page each time it reports a copy to your site, with\nthe post ID and the length of the selection, which your own script can forward.\nThe event fires in the browser, before the site applies its rate limits and\nignored IP addresses, so the count can be a little higher than the log's:<\/p>\n\n Add the proxy's IP addresses or ranges under Detection \u2192 Trusted proxies<\/strong>.\nThe visitor's address is then taken from Yes. Rapls Copy Notice covers the same need, logging copied text and emailing\nyou about it, and it is a separate plugin written from scratch. If that plugin's\nsettings are still in your database when you first activate this one, the\nnotification address, minimum length and a custom subject are carried over.\nDeactivate the old plugin afterwards, or you will get two emails per copy.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nfalse<\/code>).<\/p>\n\nParagraphs<\/h4>\n\n

rapls_cn_logged<\/code> (action) fires after a copy is stored, with the row ID and\nthe stored values.<\/li>\nrapls_cn_notification_delivered<\/code> (filter) lets an add-on send each\nnotification to another channel; return true<\/code> when it was delivered.<\/li>\nrapls_cn_email_rows<\/code> (filter) lets an add-on choose which rows go into the\nnotification email; an empty array skips the email for that notification.<\/li>\nrapls_cn_is_pro<\/code> (filter) is set to true<\/code> by the Pro add-on;\n rapls_cn_show_upsell and rapls_cn_pro_url<\/code> control the Pro features tab.<\/li>\nrapls_cn_privacy_policy_paragraphs<\/code> (filter) gets the suggested privacy\npolicy paragraphs, keyed collected<\/code>, ip<\/code>, use<\/code> and retention<\/code>, as plain text;\nan add-on that sends copy records out should replace use<\/code>.<\/li>\nrapls_cn_log_emptied<\/code> (action) fires after \"Delete all\" has removed every log\nentry.

\n
text\/plain<\/code>. The\nsubject line contains your site name, the label you set (by default \"Copy\nnotification\") and a count, never anything a visitor sent or a post title.

Does this stop people from copying my content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Nothing is being logged. What should I check?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
.entry-content<\/code>, .post-content<\/code> or article<\/code> around the\npost body, either enter the right CSS selector under Detection \u2192 Content\narea<\/strong>, or turn on Detection \u2192 Find the post body<\/strong>. That option is off by\ndefault because it adds one empty, hidden element after the post content.\nCopies from form fields (a comment box, a contact form) are never recorded:\nthat text is usually the reader's own.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow do I check that notification emails arrive?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Why did the hourly summary arrive late?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Can I count copies in Google Analytics or another tool?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
document.addEventListener( 'rapls-cn:copy', function ( e ) { \/* e.detail.postId, e.detail.length *\/ } );\n<\/code><\/pre><\/dd>\nMy site is behind Cloudflare or another proxy and every IP looks the same.<\/h3><\/dt>\n
X-Forwarded-For<\/code>, but only on requests\nthat really come from those proxies.<\/p><\/dd>\nI used Check Copy Contents. Can I switch to this plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
