💡 Notable Advanced Features

IDM Protector (Premium): Specifically disables browser extensions like Internet Download Manager (IDM) from downloading your media files.3

Disabled JavaScript Protector (Premium): Prevents users from accessing your site if they try to bypass protection by disabling JavaScript in their browser, often by clearing the page content or redirecting them.4

Email/Phone Number Protector (Premium): Obfuscates emails and phone numbers to hide them from web crawlers and spam bots while keeping them functional for human visitors.5

Custom Alerts: Allows you to display customizable popup messages or an Audio Warning Alert (premium) when a user attempts a restricted action, serving as a copyright reminder.

Per-Post/Role Control: You can usually choose to enable or disable protection for specific posts/pages and allow certain user roles (like Admins or Editors) to bypass the restrictions.6

In summary, WPShield Content Protector is designed to be a comprehensive defense mechanism, moving beyond basic right-click blocking to cover the advanced methods content thieves often use.7
