Overview
Visitors can copy page content in several ways, including selecting text, dragging images, or using keyboard shortcuts. UnGrabber applies protections against these actions, along with right-click menus and access to developer tools. It is intended for WordPress sites that publish articles, images, or other material their owners want to make harder to copy.
Protection settings can be adjusted independently, so site owners can choose which actions to restrict. The plugin also includes a shortcode that can disable protection, and its content protection is kept out of Elementor and other page builder previews. This makes it useful for bloggers, businesses, and creatives who manage content in WordPress.
Features
- Block right-click menus: Disable right-click menus on your site to limit one common way visitors access options for copying page content.
- Restrict keyboard shortcuts: Block keyboard shortcuts associated with copying content, giving site owners another way to limit duplication.
- Prevent text selection: Stop visitors from selecting text on protected pages, helping reduce copying of articles and other written material.
- Block dragging content: Prevent drag actions that can be used to move or copy content, including images, from a page.
- Choose protection settings: Adjust individual protection elements independently to decide which copying actions the plugin blocks on your site.
- Disable with a shortcode: Use the [disable_ungrabber] shortcode to turn off content protection where that behavior is needed.
- Exclude page builder previews: Content protection does not load inside Elementor and other page builder previews, helping keep those editing views accessible.
Best for
- WordPress blogs with original articles
- Businesses publishing proprietary information
- Creatives protecting website images
