Complete content protection suite. Disable right-click, copy, print, shortcuts, image saving; add watermarks, block RSS, hotlinking.

= Privacy =

ContentShield Lite does not collect, store, or transmit any personal user data. It makes no external HTTP requests.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `contentshield-lite` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
3. Go to **ContentShield** in your WordPress admin sidebar to configure.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this affect the WordPress admin panel? =
No. All frontend scripts are enqueued via `wp_enqueue_scripts` which never fires in the admin area.

= Can I exclude specific pages from protection? =
Yes. Use the URL Exclusion Manager in the settings page, or toggle the option in each post/page editor sidebar.

= Does this plugin use jQuery? =
No. ContentShield Lite uses pure vanilla JavaScript.

= Does this plugin track users or collect any data? =
Absolutely not. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

= Will this stop 100% of content theft? =
Right-click and copy blocking deters casual copying but not technically sophisticated users. It is a useful first layer of content protection alongside proper copyright notices.

= Does image watermarking require anything special? =
Yes — it requires the PHP GD extension, which is installed on most hosting platforms. The plugin will notify you if GD is not available.

= Does hotlink protection work on all hosting? =
Hotlink protection uses Apache mod_rewrite via .htaccess and only works on Apache-based hosting. The plugin will notify you if your .htaccess file is not writable.
