About Disable Inspect Tools
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Disable Inspect Tools is a simple plugin that protects your WordPress site from casual users attempting to inspect or copy your content. It disables:
- Right-click context menu
- Keyboard shortcuts like F12, Ctrl+Shift+I/J/C, and Ctrl+U
- Text selection and copy actions
Please note: This plugin offers basic front-end protection. Advanced users can still access content using developer tools or by disabling JavaScript.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/disable-inspect-tools - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Done! The protections are active immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Can this plugin completely prevent content theft?
No. It helps deter basic copying and inspection, but no front-end method can guarantee complete protection.
Will it break any functionality?
