How to Enable Right-Click Protection on Images
What it does
Right-click (and drag-and-save) protection stops casual visitors from right-clicking an image on your website to save a copy. It’s a deterrent rather than a hard security measure — an image can still be captured by other means — but it discourages casual copying of photos, particularly ones featuring pupils.
Right-click image protection is an additional feature, not something included on every site by default. If it isn't currently active on your site, enabling it may involve an extra charge — check with your account manager before requesting it.
This protection is commonly disabled by default for logged-in users (so editors and admins aren't blocked from working with images) — which can look like it's stopped working if you're testing it while logged into WordPress. Always test in a private/incognito browser window while logged out.
Getting it enabled
This is configured at site level rather than something editors toggle per page. Contact your Innermedia support team to check whether it’s included on your package and, if so, to have it switched on or fixed.
