Code to stop ‘save image..’ on right click

It’s worth mentioning that you can’t stop a determined person from getting an image you’re displaying on your site. They can get it through the browser’s developer tools or take a screenshot. All you can do is discourage the behavior.

That said, you can disallow right click on all site images by inserting this code into your functions file or using the Code Snippets plugin. (There are a few plugins that claim to disable right click, but none seemed to work when I tested them.)

add_action('wp_footer', 'wpsf_disallow_right_click_images');
function wpsf_disallow_right_click_images() {
?>
<script>
	const images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
	for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
		images[i].addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());
	}
</script>
<?php
}

I found the script on GitHub.

That worked perfectly, thank you so much.

I understand if someone is determined to they can still do a work around, but I wanted to at least make some gesture of respecting the creators who are lending us their images.

Thank you again for your help.
