Disable Right-Click and Keys

Disable Right-Click and Keys is part of the Disable Options section in WP Ghost and offers a variety of tools to enhance the security and protection of your website content.

These features prevent unauthorized actions, such as inspecting code, copying text, or downloading images, which can safeguard your site from potential threats.

Disable Right-Click

When right-click functionality is disabled, users won’t be able to access the browser context menu, which includes options like Inspect Element. This prevents unauthorized individuals from easily inspecting and manipulating your website’s code, adding an extra layer of protection to your valuable content.

1. Go to WP Ghost > Tweaks > Disable Options.
2. Switch on the Disable Right-Click option.
3. Next to the Disable Click Message field, write the warning message when the right click is triggered. Leave it blank if you do NOT want to display any message.
4. Click the Save button to apply the changes.

Note! Even if the Disable Right Click option is switched off, it will activate when you select Disable Inspect Element, Disable View Source, and Disable Copy-Paste to prevent loading the context menu.

Activate for Logged Users

1. Switch on the Disable Right-Click for Logged Users option.
2. Select one or more user roles to whom this option will apply.
3. Click the Save button to apply the changes.

Disable Inspect Element

When you activate this option, it disables the right-click option to prevent opening the Inspect Element from the context menu and the key combination that reveals the Inspect Element feature and blocks several other commonly used combinations. These combinations include Ctrl + Shift + I, Option + Shift + Command + I, Ctrl + Shift + C, Ctrl + Shift + K, Ctrl + Shift + J, F12, etc. This prevents unauthorized users from inspecting or manipulating website code.

1. Go to WP Ghost > Tweaks > Disable Options.
