Description
Appender blocks attempts to copy WordPress site content by disabling right-clicking, text selection, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+U, F12), and direct access to the source code through the browser. Designed for those who publish original articles, tutorials, original photographs, or e-books on WordPress and want to make it harder for scrapers and visitors who tend to replicate text and images without permission on other sites.

How to Download Appender
Appender is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it; then open the plugin settings screen to define which blocks should remain active on the site.
Although no JavaScript-based protection is invincible for those who master developer tools, Appender considerably raises the barrier against the average visitor and manual content scraping. For editorial blogs, portfolios, and course websites that depend on the originality of their material as a brand asset, the plugin works as a first line of deterrence before legal measures or more robust anti-plagiarism services.
