Watermark Plugin not working.

Scott, I checked both, manual and automatic watermarkig, watermakr selection etc. and everything works smoothly. I don’t know what was wrong for you.

But I think of something – do you have some experience with WordPress themes and wordpress image sizes especially. Cos’ when it is applied to selected image sizes it is not visible on others. In other words, maybe the image sizes you applied watermark to are not used in your theme, thus you think it was not applied and the plugin’s not working.

Just a guess but I have no other expalanation as it works exactly as it supposed to.

Hi again.

A a lot to explain.

So first a Wiki definition of watermarking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_watermarking
Secondly: There is no way to distingish if the user viewing your images has an intention to stole it and use it elsewhere ot not. Not a human or script can judge that.
Thirdly: The theme you use doesn’t matter here (unless it generates plugin or script conflicts).

The plugin does at least 2 things:
– it watermarks images (applies an unremovable for end users graphical sign on top of your images)
– it allows you to use secondary copying protection methids (disable right click on images etc. which is not 100% effective, but works on most end users)

Your final question was: can watermark be removed by you. Yes. All you need to do is to keep your original files untact – it means do not watermark full size images – we’ve even put a notice in plugin settings that you should not. If you didn’t watermark full size images you can always regenerate other size versions of that image using any image regeneration plugins and so remove the watermark applied.

And Scott, the problems you mention are not the plugin issues but you basic knowledge of how themes and WordPress itself work. We can’t help with that, sorry.
