Unlike other watermarking techniques and plugins, the original images are unaffected and you **do not need to edit or re-upload the images**, it is done automatically for you. Out of the box WP Image Protect Lite has all these capabilities: * Apply text watermarks to all of your site in seconds (new and existing uploads) * Set the text, font, colour, size and background of the Watermark * Specify threshold to apply watermarks (to exclude thumbnails as required) * Exclude individual images from Watermarking with the media library * Alter, reposition or remove all Watermarks in seconds through your WordPress administration panel Please raise any support queries on the support forum. Upgrade to WP Image Protect Premium for even more powerful features such as: * Images as Watermarks * Watermark Transparency * Hotlink Prevention * Cached Watermarked Images * Additional Fonts * Premium Support == Installation == 1. Place the 'wp-image-protect-lite' folder in your '/wp-content/plugins/' directory, or install directly from your WordPress administration dashboard with 'Plugins > Add New' and searching for WP Image Protect. 2. Activate WP Image Protect Lite. 3. Visit 'Settings > WP Image Protect Settings' and set how you want your watermarks to appear. 4. View your site, Watermarks will now be displayed on content. 5. Adjust the settings as required. == Frequently Asked Questions == = There are no errors, but Watermarks are not being displayed = Ensure the plugin is activated an you have selected the relevant option from Settings > WP Image Protect Settings in your WordPress administration dashboard. = There is another problem with the plugin = Please open a ticket on the support forum, providing as much detail as possible - the version of WordPress and WP Image Protect you are using and the nature of the problem you are experiencing. I will get back to you as soon as I can. = Are my original images affected by Watermarking? = No. The technology employed in WP Image Protect means that the Watermark is only displayed when the image is rendered. = How do I specify what images are Watermarked/Excluded from Watermarking? = By default, watermarks are applied to all uploaded images above the 'Watermark only Size' threshold found on the plugin settings page. This ensures that smaller images such as thumbnails are not watermarked. Additionally, you can exclude individual images from the watermarking process by selecting the relevant image from Media > Library in your WordPress administration console and checking 'WPIPP Exclude from Watermarking' checkbox and pressing 'Update' == Screenshots == 1.
