WP-Copyright-Protection

51 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

At 5,000 active installs the plugin has a small but noticeable user base, enough to show real-world use without indicating mainstream adoption.

Update Freshness

7/25

The plugin was updated on 2025-02-23 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5, but with no public repository activity signals or recent feature additions documented, ongoing maintenance momentum is uncertain.

User Rating

13/15

A rating of 88 out of 100 from 21 reviewers is strong, though the small sample size means the score is more directional than statistically conclusive.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolved tickets means there is no track record of developer responsiveness if you run into issues.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Compatibility scores well due to the low WordPress 2.3 minimum requirement, but the unspecified PHP version and absence of modern WP version testing history beyond 6.7.5 leaves room for concern on cutting-edge stacks.

What It Does

WP-Copyright-Protection adds client-side deterrents to your WordPress site, disabling right-click, text selection, and screenshot actions on your pages. It also injects code that tries to block common keyboard shortcuts used to copy or save content. In practice, this makes casual copying slightly harder but offers no real protection against anyone with basic browser knowledge.

Who It's For

This plugin suits hobbyist photographers, illustrators, or small portfolio sites that want a lightweight, set-and-forget deterrent against casual content theft. It fits users who prioritize simplicity over depth and do not need server-side DRM, watermarking, or legal enforcement features.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone selling genuinely valuable digital assets, running a stock photo library, or protecting proprietary course material should skip this, because client-side JavaScript can be bypassed in seconds with browser dev tools or extensions. If your livelihood depends on protecting content, you need server-level controls, watermarking, or licensing enforcement instead.

The Bottom Line

WP-Copyright-Protection delivers exactly what its description promises: a lean, simple client-side deterrent. With an overall quality score of 54.9 out of 100, weak support signals, and no real protection against determined users, it is a cosmetic solution at best. Install it only if you want low-effort discouragement of casual copying, and not if true content protection matters to your business.

Pick this if you want a similar no-right-click approach but with a much larger install base of 100,000 and a more established track record.

NinjaFirewall (WP Edition) – Advanced Security Plugin and Firewall 88/100

Choose this when you need actual server-side protection against scrapers and bots rather than just client-side deterrents.

Image Watermark 81/100

Pick this if your real concern is image theft, since visible watermarks survive copying and screenshots far better than disabled right-click.

Protect Uploads 82/100

Choose this for restricting direct access to uploaded files via hotlink protection, which addresses a real attack vector that this plugin ignores.

Email Address Encoder 82/100

Pick this only if your content protection concern is really about scraping email addresses rather than images or text.
