Sorry, but this was over a month ago and I’ve since deactivated the Breakdance plugin. I did this because of potential problems with the plugin redirecting to the original blog post. There were reports on the Web of people seeing a drop in rankings of their images since using the plugin.

You can see more about how I got it working and why I deactivated it on this blog post.

Thanks for the reply. Got to confess I’m very confused by what’s going on in Google image search.

As mentioned above, for some unknown reason Google is now linking to the page showing index of uploads rather than the blog post itself. This is now happening even when I disable the plugin. It doesn’t happen on a couple of other blogs, using the identical theme, where I’ve never installed Imaguard.

Also, seems my latest images are not being indexed, as mentioned by others in the support forum.

For the time being I’m going to deactivate the plugin, but I hate what Google is doing to us, so will rather keep an eye on the Support Threads and activate at a later stage once things have stabilised.

Thanks for this plugin and really appreciate your hard work! I’m still using 1.3 and find it offers clever and ingenious options to guide visitors back to your blog from image search.

Have one question (excuse my ignorance if this is really dumb) but was wondering if it would be possible to disable right-click (as an option) in the non-aggressive version when a person sees the full-size image in the floating window?

Have written a blog post about how I’m using the non-aggressive version which I hope will help spread the word and assist others – https://blog.wildlife-pictures-online.com/photography/imaguard-plugin-guides-searchers-to-your-blog/.

Thanks for the quick reply and the clear explanation – now understand better how it all works. So I’m using the non-agressive approach on my blog and know that if searcher clicks on “View original image” they at least see my blog with menus and links in the background, rather than the full size image on a blank page.

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you want, but while searching for info on combining NextGen with WP, found this page about WordPress eStore and NextGen integration to create a photo digital store for selling digital images. The post includes info about creating Add to Cart buttons. Here’s the link:
