Why Disable Right-Click on Images in WordPress?
Disabling right-click on images is important because it prevents others from stealing or misusing your pictures without permission. When you turn off right-click, it’s like adding a protective shield around your images online.
Plus, there are other good reasons to do it, too. Let’s explore those together:
- Protecting Copyright: If you’re a photographer, artist, or content creator, your creations are like your babies, right? Disabling right-click helps safeguard your copyright and ensures that others can’t misuse your work without permission.
- Maintaining Professionalism: For businesses and professional websites, image protection is vital to maintaining that sleek and polished look. It shows that you value your content and the hard work you’ve put into making your site visually appealing.
- Improving SEO: When people swipe your images without asking, it creates a problem – Duplicate Content. Search engines don’t like that! By stopping image theft, you’re telling search engines, “Hey, this content is unique and valuable.” This control over your content’s SEO value can boost your website’s rankings, making it easier for people to find you online.

To create your galleries, just head over to your dashboard and click Modula >> Galleries.
When you move on to the next page, keep an eye out for the “Add New” button. Or, if this is your first time using Modula, just click the “Create your first gallery” button.
Next, you’ll be redirected to the gallery setup screen of Modula. Start with adding an interactive Title to your image gallery.
After that, it’s time to upload your images. You have two easy options: click the “Upload Image Files” button to add new images or choose photos directly from your WordPress Library.

Before we move on, let’s discuss some of the amazing customization options that Modula offers.
In the General Settings tab, you can pick from various gallery layouts. Whether you prefer a creative look with a Creative Gallery, a structured design with a Custom Grid, or an artistic touch with a Masonry layout, Modula offers it all!
But the customization doesn’t stop there. You can fine-tune your gallery with options like Gutter, Width, Image Size, and Height, ensuring your layout looks picture-perfect.
And then, there’s the Lightbox tab, packed with settings to enhance your viewer’s experience. Play around with animation types, transition effects, auto-play, social sharing buttons, navigation arrows, and more!
Modula gives you the freedom to personalize your image gallery precisely as you envision it.
4. Enable the Right-Click Protection
Now that your image gallery is ready, enhance its security by disabling right-clicking on the images.
Scroll down the page until you spot the “Misc” tab (Miscellaneous). Click on the tab to open it and toggle on the “Enable protection” button.
Enabling this feature enhances the security of your Modula image gallery. You can prevent users from downloading or copying your images by disabling right-clicking. This protection applies to both visitors who are not logged in and users who are logged in but do not have Media permissions. It gives you complete control over who can view and use your content.
Once done, save your gallery and copy the shortcode.
Next, go to the page where you want to embed your gallery, paste the shortcode, and publish your page.
5. Test the Right-Click Protection
It’s time to put the Protection Extension to the test and see its magic in action.
To test the right-click protection, open the page where you’ve published your image gallery. Make sure to access the page in incognito mode or using a browser without logging in as an admin.
Now, try right-clicking on the images, and you’ll notice that right-clicking doesn’t work on that page.
And there you have it! That’s how you disable right-click on images in WordPress with Modula and its Protection Extension. Your images are now safe and secure from unauthorized downloads.
