WordPress plugin
WP Content Copy Protection Pro
WP Content Copy Protection Pro extends WordPress content protection with controls for pages, posts, categories, customers, images, feeds, and source-view actions. Choose which pages, posts, or categories to exclude, and whether protection applies to website administrators, registered users, or both. These controls deter common copying methods; they cannot guarantee that published content is impossible to copy.

WP Content Copy Protection Pro extends WordPress content protection with controls for pages, posts, categories, customers, images, feeds, and source-view actions. Choose which pages, posts, or categories to exclude, and whether protection applies to website administrators, registered users, or both. These controls deter common copying methods; they cannot guarantee that published content is impossible to copy.
Protection controls
- Text and keyboard: Extend copy-related keyboard controls across Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
- Images and galleries: Apply stronger picture protection on desktop and mobile devices, including images in gallery extensions such as NextGEN and NextCellent. Extended CSS protection covers text and images on mobile devices and smartphones.
- Feeds: Remove RDF, RSS, RSS2, Atom, RSS2 comments, and other feeds used by scrapers and autoblogs.
- Print Screen: Add a deterrent for image theft attempts, with an instant redirect trigger available.
- Source viewing: Disable source viewing through F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Ctrl+U, and other key combinations. Source-code padding is also added as a deterrent.
Install and configure
Install and activate the extension in WordPress, then choose where protection applies and which users are covered. For an article website, you can protect most pages while excluding content that users need to copy. For an image-focused site, configure the image and gallery controls. The Pro edition is also compatible with WooCommerce, custom post types, and other e-commerce plugins.
The plugin is described as lightweight and designed to execute in the background. The listing states that search engines can read protected content. Embeddable code is generally unaffected, while right-click and save functions on default video and audio embeds are covered by the stated protection behavior.
The plugin directory listing warns that the plugin has not been tested with the latest three major WordPress releases and may have compatibility issues. Check compatibility with your WordPress setup before installing.
