Method 1: Disabling Text Selection with CSS
One of the most common and effective methods to prevent copy-pasting of blog content is by using CSS. This approach prevents users from selecting text on your blogger website. Before we start remember to take backup of blogger theme.
Steps:
- Access your Blogger template: Go to your Blogger dashboard, select your blog, and then click on “Theme.”
- Edit HTML: Click on the “Customize” button, then the “Edit HTML” option.
- Insert CSS code: Paste the following CSS code into the
<head>section of your template:
<style>
body {
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;}
</style>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)- Save changes: Click “Save theme” to apply the changes.
This code will prevent users from selecting text on your entire blog.
Method 2: Disabling Right-Click with JavaScript
Another way to disable the right-click functionality, making it harder for users to copy content. This use JavaScript so it might make your site slower.
Steps:
- Access your Blogger template: Follow the same steps as in Method 1 to access your template’s HTML.
- Insert JavaScript code: Paste the following JavaScript code before the closing
</body>tag:
<script>
document.oncontextmenu = function() { return false;}
</script>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)- Save changes: Click “Save theme” to apply the changes.
This code will prevent users from accessing the right-click menu. They can select the text but there will be no copy options for them.
