What it does

If you publish original articles, photos or other material, it can be frustrating to see it copied and pasted onto other sites. This plugin targets the common ways visitors grab content from a page in the browser. It disables the right-click menu, blocks copy and cut hotkeys, stops text selection and image dragging, and restricts access to browser developer tools. It is built to run quietly in the background so regular readers can keep browsing and reading without interruption.

Protection settings are handled per element, letting you turn individual measures on or off to balance security with convenience for your audience. A dynamic script name loading method is available, and it respects options such as Administrator mode, Assignments, AMP pages and a JavaScript Required setting. A [disable_ungrabber] shortcode lets you switch protection off where needed, and protection stays out of Elementor and other page builder previews while you edit. The plugin works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge and lists Elementor as a requirement.

Features

Right-click blocking

Disables the browser context menu on your pages so visitors cannot use it to copy text or save images directly.

Hotkey and cut protection

Blocks common keyboard shortcuts used to copy content, including cut, so text cannot be lifted with a quick key combination.

Text selection and drag control

Prevents visitors from highlighting text and dragging images or other elements off the page to copy them elsewhere.

Developer tools protection

Restricts access to browser developer tools, a route people often use to pull content or source files from a page.

Independent protection settings

Each protection element can be adjusted on its own, so you can keep the measures you want and leave out the rest.

Shortcode to disable protection

The [disable_ungrabber] shortcode turns protection off on specific content where you want visitors to be able to copy freely.

Dynamic script name loading

An optional loading method that respects Administrator mode, Assignments, AMP pages and the JavaScript Required option, and refreshes its script file after plugin updates.

Page builder friendly

Protection is not loaded inside Elementor and other page builder previews, so editing your pages is not affected.

Questions about UnGrabber

Will this plugin affect search engines indexing my content?

It is designed so its protection measures do not interfere with search engine indexing. The blocking targets visitor actions in the browser, such as right-click, hotkeys and text selection, rather than hiding your content from crawlers.

Can I turn off protection on certain pages or content?

Yes. Each protection element can be configured independently, and there is a [disable_ungrabber] shortcode for switching protection off where you need it. The dynamic loading method also respects Assignments and Administrator mode settings.

Does it interfere with editing in Elementor?

No. Content protection is not loaded inside Elementor or other page builder previews, so you can edit pages normally. Note that the plugin lists Elementor as a requirement for your site.

Which browsers does it work in?

The protection works in all the popular browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge, so visitors get consistent behavior. It is also built to handle responsive layouts and high-resolution screens.
