Daily Tip: How to Disable Right-Clicking on Your WordPress Blog

If you have a lot of copyrighted images or you don’t want people stealing parts of your design, here’s a quick way to disable right-clicking within WordPress. There are plugins that will do this for you, but I think this is easier than installing a plugin. Open your header.php file and add this jQuery snippet right before the closing < /head> tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
        return false;
    });
});
</script>

Save the changes. Now test right-clicking on your images. Nothing happens. That’s how you can tell it’s working. :)
