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, purchase some credits, and enable your API access. You may then begin using the plugin.

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If your site runs earlier versions of WordPress, when matching content is found the post will be unpublished automatically, and an option to view the detailed report will be presented, along with the choice to publish the post anyway.
