So, for me, this is how to disable copy and paste on website — by adding a simple script to your website.
The first thing I’m going to reveal here is how you can add script to your wordpress site that will disable copy and paste function and as well as disable text selection.
This is the easiest way on how to prevent copying text from website. This method will also disable right click and text selection.
So here is the script you can use below for your site content to be protected.

onkeydown="if ((arguments[0] || window.event).ctrlKey) return false"></body>How To Use This Script On a WordPress Site?
You may definitely ask how you are going to use this or where you are going to place this on your website.
It’s very easy. Here below is what you are going to do with the script:
- Login to your wordpress admin dashboard
- Go to appearance and click on widget.
- Find the custom html widget and click on it, then choose where you want the script to be placed.
- It doesn’t matter if you place this anywhere on your site because the purpose of this script is just to prevent your site from being copied.
- So, you have the free option to place the script anywhere.
- You can choose to place this in the header, sidebar, left footer, right footer or center.
- The place the script on the custom html and click save.
- That’s all about it. It will start preventing your site from being copied online.
By the way, please be reminded that, you should not put any title on the custom html widget where this script is present because there is no need for you to add title to it.
If you are going to add title to the custom html widget where this script is placed, then its title will show up on the front end of your website.
