 * Hi there,
 * Is it possible to block your gallery/images so that they can’t be saved?
 * I’m thinking of adding small thumbnails in the article/post and view them in 
   the gallery, but have them “protected”
 * I don’t know if it matters, but I’m using Atahualpa.
 * Thanks

 * Do you mean block users visiting your site from saving your images? No it is 
   not possible. If the image is available to the browser then it can be saved and
   don’t even think about using one of those stupid right click disabler. Those 
   are horrible for user experience and can be bypassed.

 * Well, thank you!
 * I was just wondering because recently I started to see more on more websites 
   doing that. You can still click right but you don’t have the ‘Save..’ option.
   I know most these things can be bypassed, but not everyone knows, yet! 🙂
 * So it just can’t be done on wp?

 * It _can_, but it’s pointless. View source, element inspectors, and screenshots
   all defeat the purpose. Why slow your site down for that?

 * It can’t successfully be done **anywhere**. It’s not a WP thing, it’s a HTML 
   thing. if the user can see the image on your page, they can get it. That’s all
   there is to it. If you’re worreid, think about watermarking your images as that’s
   oen of the only ways that I’ve seen that actually works (doesn’t stop anyone 
   from stealing your imags, but at least they know where they came from until someone
   crops off the watermark area.).
