About this plugin
DesheeLabs Content Protection helps reduce casual copying and saving of your site content by applying lightweight, front-end protections. It’s built for site owners who want a simple way to discourage right-click saving, text selection, and common copy shortcuts.
What this plugin does
The plugin adds browser-side restrictions to make it harder for visitors to:
- Copy text using keyboard shortcuts
- Select text
- Use right-click context menus
- Drag images to save them
- Use certain developer-tools shortcuts (limited effectiveness)
Key Features
- Disable Right Click – Prevents users from accessing the context menu
- Disable Text Selection – Blocks text selection across your website
- Disable Copy Operations – Blocks Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts
- Image Protection – Prevents image dragging and saving
- Print Protection – Optionally disable print functionality
- Developer Tools Protection – Block F12 and Ctrl+Shift+I (can be bypassed)
- Custom Warning Messages – Display alerts when protection is triggered
- Administrator Bypass – Optionally skip protection for administrators
- Exclude Specific Pages/Posts – Disable protection on selected Post/Page IDs
- Shortcode Protection Mode – Apply protection only to specific content using a shortcode
- Maintenance Mode – Show a maintenance message to visitors while admins can still access the site
- Multiple Protection Levels – Choose from Low, Medium, or High protection
- Import/Export Settings – Backup and restore your configuration
Protection Levels
- Low – Basic protection for casual users
- Medium – Standard protection (recommended)
- High – Maximum protection with all features enabled
Important Security Note
No client-side protection is 100% secure. Determined users with technical knowledge can bypass these protections. This plugin provides basic content protection for casual users and should be combined with server-side protection and legal measures for sensitive content.
