eDarpan: Website Protection is a powerful all-in-one security and content protection plugin for WordPress. It prevents content theft, blocks malicious IPs, restricts access by country, and stops spam — all from a single, easy-to-use dashboard.

Whether you’re a blogger protecting original content, an eCommerce store owner securing product descriptions, or a business safeguarding proprietary information — this plugin has you covered.

🛡️ Content Protection

  • Disable Text Selection — Prevent visitors from highlighting and copying your text content
  • Disable Right Click — Block the browser context menu to stop “Save Image As” and “View Source”
  • Block Keyboard Shortcuts — Disable Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P, F12, Ctrl+Shift+I/J/C and all macOS equivalents (Cmd+Option+I/J/U)
  • Disable Image Dragging — Prevent images from being dragged and saved to desktop
  • Block Developer Tools — Stop users from opening browser DevTools (F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Cmd+Option+I)
  • SEO Friendly — All protections are JavaScript-based; search engine crawlers can still index your content normally
