How Right Click Disable Works

When someone tries to right click on your website, this plugin blocks the browser context menu from appearing. You can also configure it to show a custom message explaining that copying is not permitted. The protection runs only on the frontend and does not affect your WordPress admin area.

Who Benefits from Content Protection

This plugin is useful for photographers who want to protect their images, bloggers publishing original content, artists showcasing portfolios, writers sharing samples, membership sites with exclusive content, and businesses with proprietary materials.

Performance Focused

The protection code is minimal and lightweight. No external scripts or libraries are loaded. The JavaScript runs only on pages where protection is active, keeping your website fast.

Free Features

How do I enable right click disable on my website?

Go to Right Click Disable in your WordPress admin panel. Enable the setting for Visitors and click Save Settings. It will be blocked for all logged-out visitors immediately.

Can I still right click while logged in as an administrator?

Yes. By default, administrators can use right click for convenience. Enable the setting for Administrators if you want to test protection while logged in or apply it to all users.

Will this show a message when visitors try to right click?

You can choose. Enable Show Alert Message and write your custom text. Or disable it for silent protection where right click simply does not work without any popup.

Does this plugin affect my WordPress admin area?

No. All protection features run only on the frontend. Your admin dashboard, post editor, and all backend functions work normally without any restrictions.

Can I protect only specific pages?

In the free version, protection applies site-wide. The Pro version includes page exclusions and per-page settings for granular control.

Will this slow down my website?

No. The code is minimal and lightweight. JavaScript runs only where protection is active. There are no external dependencies or heavy libraries.

Go to Settings and set Show Alert Message to Off. It will be silently blocked without any notification.

So the initial set up is a little confusing word wise and I originally set it up to disable right click for admins only ‘:D But I fixed it. It doesn’t seem to work on my homepage very well (even after purging cache) but it’s working on the rest of the site so far. The pop up is kind of annoying when you accidentally right click because you have to close it to continue; I would prefer it to just block right clicks and let people keep scrolling. Someone who is smart will realize right-click is disabled and go on about their day. But I feel better knowing people actually have to put in a little bit of effort to take my images now 😀
