## Description

The Copyscape Premium plugin lets you check if a WordPress post is original before
it’s published, by using the Copyscape Premium API to check for duplicate content
on the web.

The plugin will add a ‘Copyscape Check’ button to your WordPress interface, allowing
you to check your posts whenever you wish. You may also set the plugin to automatically
check your posts when you click ‘Publish’ and/or ‘Update’.

When duplicate content is found, a report of matching pages is shown. You may also
see a detailed comparison that highlights your content on the found page.

If you do not already have a Copyscape Premium account, please [sign up](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=prosignup),
[purchase some credits](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=propurchase), and 
enable your [API access](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=apiconfigure#key).
You may then begin using the plugin.

## FAQ

Please read the list of Frequently Asked Questions below. If you have additional
questions, please feel free to [contact us](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=contact).

### How do I sign up for a Copyscape Premium account?

To use the plugin, you must have a Copyscape Premium account. If you do not already
have an account, please [sign up](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=prosignup).

### How do I purchase credits?

To use the plugin, you will need to purchase Copyscape Premium credits. If you have
not already done so, please [purchase some credits now](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=propurchase).

### How do I get an API key?

To get your API key, please visit the [API configuration page](http://www.copyscape.com/redirect/?to=apiconfigure#key),

### What happens if I run out of credits?

If you run out of credits, checks will not be performed. If automatic checking is
on, posts will be moved to drafts, and you will receive a notification that you 
have run out of credits. You will also be given a link to purchase additional credits.

### Will I be charged for checking the same text twice?

If a check is performed immediately again on the exact same text, the previous report
will be presented without a new check being performed.

### How do I configure the plugin to automatically check my posts?

In the Plugin Settings, check the box marked ‘Check for copies when a post is published’(
or ‘Check for copies when a post is updated’). Upon clicking publish (or update),
your post will be checked. If your site runs WordPress version 5.0 or higher, when
matching content is found, the option to view the detailed report will be presented
along with the choice to unpublish the post and move it back to Drafts. If your 
site runs earlier versions of WordPress, when matching content is found the post
will be unpublished automatically, and an option to view the detailed report will
be presented, along with the choice to publish the post anyway.

The plugin is not working. I paid for the service, checked all the settings. After
pressing the check button, the page is updated, but nothing changes, and the limits
are not written off.

### 󠀁[The plugin works great for detecting plagiarism](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-plugin-works-great-for-detecting-plagiarism/)󠁿

 [Excess Pro Net](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alfonsobr/) 11, Xineru de 2023

I personally installed the plugin in my site to detect plagiarised content that 
i did not notice before. and well just for 10$ I got almost unlimited credits to
check for it on product and posts pages. The tool is perfect detecting spam. The
only thing is that it also autodectects the same website content as duplicate. And
also after saving Twice, The plugin conflicts a little with wpml plugin and changes
the language of the post which damages the page. Though i need the plugin and still
works. I hope others check this great tool to fight the latest google spam updates
more easily. and I hope the author can do a great update for this great plugin!!!!

You need to register and pay for the API, no complain, this is clearly said before
even installing, so all good here (user complaining on that is unfair) The plugin
is very easy to install and use Admin and user setting are very good Many options
to check plagia when user want … but it is pushing to sell more 😉 … and that can
cost very quicly several dollars per articles if you don’t pay (pun intended) attention
So please, copyscape team: – optional: by defaut, deactivate all automatic checks.
Users may select them back – nice to have: do indicate the remaining credit on the
account in the post edit page – a must: do indicate how much credits it will cost
to check, BEFORE CHECKING

This plugin is a worthless. There is nothing free, not even one trial search. When
you go to there website they sell credits, but they don’t tell you what the credits
are worth or how many searches you get. These people are not transparent and only
want your money without even telling you what they will give you for it. They should
be banned from being on wordpress.
