🛡️ WP Content Shield Pro

Enterprise-Grade Anti-Copy, Anti-Theft & Content Theft Protection Plugin for WordPress.

WP Content Shield Pro is a comprehensive multi-layered security and anti-plagiarism system designed to protect your articles, exclusive content, source code, and media assets against copying, scraping, dragging, printing, and developer inspection.

⚡ Highlights

  • Multi-Layer Defense: Enforces rules via early <head> CSS (active even if visitors disable JavaScript), JavaScript capture-phase event listeners, and dynamic DOM MutationObservers.
  • Silent Right-Click Protection: Silently suppresses context menus across all elements and images without irritating visitors with intrusive popups (can optionally be enabled via settings).
  • Text Selection & Highlight Blocker: Prevents highlighting, dragging, double-clicking, and triple-clicking text across all modern browsers and mobile touch devices.
  • Image & Asset Shield: Disables image drag-and-drop to desktop or new tabs, applies protective DOM layers, and disables HTML5 video/audio download controls.
  • Keyboard Shortcut Defense: Disables Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+U (View Source), Ctrl+S (Save Page), Ctrl+P (Print / PDF), and DevTools hotkeys (F12, Ctrl+Shift+I/J/C).
  • Active DevTools Detector: Monitors console activity via viewport dimension delta analysis, flushes console logs, and outputs copyright warnings.
  • Scraper & Bot Defense: Includes an anti-iFrame Frame Buster (X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN) and automatically truncates RSS feeds into excerpts with canonical back-links.
  • Form Usability: Intelligent form exemption allows visitors to type, select, and edit text inside search bars, login boxes, and comment forms.
  • Interactive Live Sandbox: Test your settings in real time directly from the WordPress administration dashboard.
