Disable Right Click
Overview
Discourage casual use of the right-click menu on your WordPress frontend with a configurable interaction restriction. Disable Right Click applies to the visitors and logged-in roles you select and can display a brief message explaining why the action is unavailable.
The module uses WP PowerSuite’s shared frontend content-protection system and leaves the WordPress dashboard outside its scope. Disable Right Click is a Free module for gentle deterrence, not secure content storage. It does not make images or text impossible to retrieve, and page source, developer tools, and screenshots remain available.

- Website owners who want to discourage casual context-menu copying
- Portfolio and editorial sites using a clear frontend reuse policy
- Agencies configuring visitor-specific interaction restrictions
- Teams that need public visitors and staff roles treated differently
