About this plugin

Sandya Copy Protection helps you discourage casual content theft on your WordPress site. It disables the right-click menu, blocks common copy keyboard shortcuts, prevents image dragging, and can show a custom warning message when someone tries to copy your content.

Important note on security expectations: this plugin is a deterrent, not a security guarantee. No plugin (on any platform) can make web content 100% impossible to copy — anyone can still view page source through other means, or take a screenshot. It’s designed to stop the casual copy-paste theft that makes up the vast majority of content scraping, and to make your intent clear to visitors.

Features

  • Disable right-click context menu
  • Disable text selection
  • Disable copy/cut/paste/select-all/view-source/save/print keyboard shortcuts
  • DevTools shortcut deterrent warning (F12, Ctrl+Shift+I)
  • Disable image dragging and right-click image saving
  • Choose which content types are protected (posts, pages, custom post types)
  • Per-post/page override from the editor sidebar (force on, force off, or use global setting)
  • Exclude logged-in users automatically
  • IP whitelist so trusted visitors bypass protection — supports single IPs and CIDR ranges (IPv4 and IPv6)
  • Three notification styles: toast, banner, or modal
  • Blocked-attempt counter shown right on the settings page
  • Optional copy-attribution fallback: automatically appends a source credit line if content is copied anyway
  • Lightweight: no jQuery dependency, minimal front-end footprint
  • Works on desktop and mobile/touch devices
