Overview
This snippet prevents visitors from selecting text anywhere on your site, making it harder to casually copy or highlight content. It creates a smoother locked down experience for portfolios, galleries, or premium resources, but keep in mind it is not a foolproof security measure since clever folks can still access the content through developer tools.
Setup
Add External Scripts
Copy & paste the scripts before the </body> tag of your project. If you added them before for another setup, skip this step.
Add HTML
Place the code in an HTML widget or add it through Elementor → Custom Code (before the closing </body> tag) either globally or only on selected pages.
Add custom CSS
Paste the code through the page or site settings, or add it via Elementor → Custom Code (before </body>) for broader use.
body {
-webkit-user-select: none; /* Safari, Chrome */
-moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox */
-ms-user-select: none; /* IE / old Edge */
user-select: none; /* Standard */
}Add custom Javascript
Paste the script through Elementor → Custom Code (set to load after </body>) for site-wide or page-specific loading.
Add custom PHP
Place the PHP snippet inside your theme’s functions.php or using any code snippet to enable logic.
