Setup

Step 1 – Create or edit your gallery

To use the Protection Addon, you must first create a gallery or click to edit an exiting gallery. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first gallery if you’re new to the plugin.

Step 2 – Enable the Protection Addon

Once you’ve created a new Envira gallery, navigate to the Misc tab and click the Enable Image Protection? option to turn on image protection.

Now, visitors to your site won’t be able to copy or download images in Envira galleries or Lightbox.

The addon also gives you the ability to display a popup alert should a user attempt to copy or save an image. To turn this feature on, click to check the box next to the Enable Popup Alert? option, located below Enable Image Protection?.

When you do, a number of other options will appear, allowing you to customize the popup title, message and button text.

If you have the CSS Addon activated, you’ll also see the Custom Gallery CSS box below that offers the opportunity for further customization.

Step 3 – Publish or Update your gallery

When you’re done, click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes.

That’s it! You’ve just disabled the right-clicking on your Envira gallery and Lightbox images.
