UnGrabber - Content Protection Plugin is a WordPress plugin that helps keep your articles, images and other material from being copied.

Product facts

Version: 3.1.6
Released: 5 October 2026
Type: Plugin
Licence: GPL
Included in: Every plan, or $3.49 on its own

Overview

Publishing original writing, images or proprietary information on a public site makes it easy for others to copy. The plugin addresses this by blocking the usual methods: right-click menus, hotkeys, developer tools access, text selection, drag events and cut actions. It runs quietly in the background, so genuine visitors browse as they normally would.

Each protection element can be adjusted on its own, which lets you balance security against convenience for your readers. The protection is designed to leave search engine indexing and site accessibility alone. It works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge, and it suits retina displays and responsive layouts. A shortcode lets you switch protection off where needed.

Features

Right-click and hotkey blocking: Disables the right-click menu and keyboard shortcuts that visitors use to copy, save or inspect your pages, covering the most common ways content gets duplicated.
Text selection and drag prevention: Stops visitors from highlighting text or dragging content off the page, which removes two of the simplest copying methods from your site.
Developer tools protection: Guards against access to browser developer tools, and restores page content after a window blur or tab change when the dynamic script name loading method is used.
Independent protection settings: Every protection element can be tuned separately, so you decide how strict to be and keep your site comfortable for legitimate readers.
Quiet background operation: The plugin works discreetly without interrupting the visitor experience, so protection stays in place without annoying your audience.
Search engine friendly: Protection measures are built so they do not get in the way of search engine indexing or site accessibility.
Cross-browser and responsive: Works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge, and is made for high-resolution displays and responsive layouts on any screen size.
Page builder and shortcode control: Protection is not loaded inside Elementor and other page builder previews, and the [disable_ungrabber] shortcode turns it off on chosen pages.

Best for

Bloggers publishing original articles
