How to add Right Click Protection to a Gutenberg website

Embed Right Click Protection on Gutenberg

01

Create a Right Click Protection plugin for Gutenberg on Common Ninja

First, create a Gutenberg Right Click Protection plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Right Click Protection and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Right Click Protection plugin

When you're done creating the Right Click Protection plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Right Click Protection Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Right Click Protection plugin to your Gutenberg website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Gutenberg website.

04

Paste the code to your Gutenberg website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Gutenberg website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Gutenberg’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Right Click Protection Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Right Click Protection plugin on your Gutenberg website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Right Click Protection plugin on your Gutenberg plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Gutenberg website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Right Click Protection plugin to your Gutenberg website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Gutenberg website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Right Click Protection widget when your content has real commercial or creative value and you want to discourage casual copying. While no solution is perfect, disabling common right click actions raises the effort required to duplicate text or images without permission. This is useful for photography portfolios, premium articles, digital products, and learning materials that you host directly. It communicates that your work is not free to reuse and may deter low effort scraping or template copying. Combined with clear copyright messaging, this widget helps protect your assets while still keeping the site accessible for regular visitors.
