Free Features
Right Click Ban includes a generous set of features in the free version — enough for most websites to feel confident their content is being actively protected.
🛡️ Right Click Protection Blocks the browser context menu so visitors cannot use “Save Image As,” “Copy,” “View Page Source,” or other right-click options. You can show a custom message when someone tries, or block it silently.
🔒 Text Selection Blocking Prevents visitors from highlighting and copying your text using click-and-drag selection. Great for protecting long-form content like blog posts and articles.
🖼️ Image Drag Prevention Stops users from dragging your images to their desktop, another tab, or into a file manager to save them.
🔗 Link Drag Prevention Prevents hyperlinks from being dragged to bookmarks, browser tabs, or external applications.
⌨️ Keyboard Shortcut Blocking Blocks Ctrl+C (Copy), Ctrl+U (View Source), and other commonly used keyboard shortcuts that expose your content. F12 developer tools access is also blocked.
📱 Mobile Protection Enable or disable protection specifically for mobile and tablet visitors. Long-press context menus on touch devices are blocked automatically.
🔔 Custom Alert Message Choose to display a modern, styled modal popup when someone tries a blocked action. Customize the message text to inform your visitors politely.
📊 Protection Analytics Built-in analytics dashboard shows you how many right-click events, copy attempts, and shortcut triggers have been blocked — in total and broken down by day.
🛠️ Admin Control Choose whether logged-in administrators should also see protection or browse normally. By default, admin access is unrestricted.
📈 Daily Block Counter A real-time counter in the settings header shows you how many events were blocked today and in total.
🗑️ Full Data Control Reset your analytics statistics at any time, and optionally delete all plugin data automatically when you uninstall.
🔐 Privacy Ready Right Click Ban integrates with the WordPress Privacy Policy system and includes a suggested privacy policy text you can add to your site. No data is sent to external servers. GDPR friendly.
How Right Click Protection Works
Right Click Ban uses clean, standards-compliant JavaScript that runs only on the frontend of your website. When a visitor tries to right-click, select text, drag an image, or use a blocked keyboard shortcut, the browser action is intercepted and cancelled before it can complete.
There are no heavy scripts, no external API calls, and no server-side processing. Everything runs in the browser, keeping your site fast and your server resources free.
