How to Disable Right Click in GeneratePress?

Hi there,

Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_action('wp_footer', function() {
    ?>
    <script>
    document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());
    </script>
    <?php
} );

Adding PHP:

David, I have added this custom function to my site but this code is not working properly. Your code only disables right click, but not the Copy (CTRL + C) and Paste (CTRL + V).

Please help me to fix this problem.

You can add this CSS to your site to stop users from selecting content:

html {
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    -o-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}

Please note, as much as we like helping our users none of this is related to the Theme. All of these answers are available from a simple google search.

First of all, Thank you, David, I greatly appreciate your help!

The above PHP snippet and CSS are working like a charm! ??

But David, I have already installed 20+ plugins and I have already told you. I don’t want other plugins and I want to remove plugins one by one When I find alternative options. To use this custom function, I need to install the Code Snippets plugin so I have made some changes.

First, I create a new Hook Element. And add the script like this:

<script>document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());</script>

and set the hook to wp_footer then set the Display Rules to “Entire Site”.

After that, I add the below CSS code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

html {
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    -o-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}

Finally, I achieve my desire result. The right click and copy and paste are now disabled. now users can’t steal my content.

David, I want to ask one last question. Have I followed the correct method to disable right click and copy and paste? because I get the desired result without installing the “Code Snippets” plugin.

Yes, that method is correct.
