Troubleshooting common issues
1. Installing ClickShield
Follow these steps to install ClickShield on your Wix site:
Go to the Wix App Market and search for ClickShield
Click Add to Site and select your Wix site
Click Agree & Add to accept the permissions
Once installed, ClickShield appears in your dashboard under Apps
Click Open to launch the ClickShield dashboard
ClickShield works on any Wix site no additional apps or setup required. The protection script installs automatically across every page; there's no widget to place or code to add.
2. Turning On Protection (Master Toggle)
Open the ClickShield dashboard
Under Protection Status, switch on Enable Content Protection
Click Save Settings
This master toggle controls all protection site wide. Turning it off immediately disables every protection below, without losing your individual settings, useful if you ever need to temporarily allow copying (for example, while you copy your own content).
3. Choosing What to Protect
Under What to Protect, turn on any combination of:
Disable right click menu: Prevents the context menu ("Save Image As," "Inspect," etc.) from appearing
Disable text selection: Prevents visitors from highlighting and copying text
Disable image drag: Prevents dragging images off the page to save them
Block keyboard shortcuts: Blocks F12, Ctrl+U (view source), Ctrl+S (save page), and Ctrl+Shift+I/J/C (developer tools)
Each protection can be turned on independently. For example, you can block right click and image dragging while still allowing visitors to select and copy text.
4. Customizing Notification Messages and Colors (Pro)
Under Notification Message, you can:
Turn on Show notification when protection triggers so visitors see a small message when a protection activates
Set a separate custom message for each trigger: right click, text selection, image drag, keyboard shortcuts, and mobile/touch long press
Set the message background color and message text color
Set the message duration in milliseconds (minimum 1000ms)
Optionally turn off "Protected by ClickShield" branding on the notification
The notification automatically matches your site's own font, so it looks like a native part of your site rather than an added plugin. Click Save Settings to apply.
5. Starting Your Free Trial or Upgrading to Pro
ClickShield includes a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature.
Open the ClickShield dashboard
Under Your Plan, click Start Your Free Trial
No charge until the trial ends cancel anytime before then from your Wix billing page with nothing billed
Once your trial starts (or after you upgrade), every setting on the dashboard becomes active and editable immediately. Before starting a trial or upgrading, settings are visible but grayed out so you can see exactly what you'll get.
After the trial, ClickShield continues at $1/month. If you don't upgrade, protection pauses automatically until you do your settings are kept, not deleted.
6. Turning Off a Protection
Open the ClickShield dashboard
Switch off any individual protection under What to Protect, or switch off Enable Content Protection to disable everything at once
Click Save Settings
Changes take effect on your live site as soon as they're saved.
7. Troubleshooting Common Issues
Right click (or another protection) isn't working on my live site
Confirm Enable Content Protection and the specific protection are both switched on, then click Save Settings
Make sure your Wix site has been published after saving
Confirm your trial has started or your plan is active, protection is paused automatically if neither applies
Clear your browser cache and reload the page
The notification message isn't showing
Confirm Show notification when protection triggers is switched on
Confirm the relevant protection (right click, text selection, etc.) is switched on, the notification only appears when a protection actually blocks something
Check that Message duration isn't set too low
Settings saved in the dashboard aren't reflected on my live site
Make sure you clicked Save Settings after making changes
Confirm your site is published
Refresh the live page as some browsers cache the previous version briefly
The app is not appearing in my dashboard
Go to your Wix site dashboard → Apps → Manage Apps
Check that ClickShield is listed and not paused or disabled
If it does not appear, reinstall from the Wix App Market
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ClickShield stop all content theft? ClickShield blocks the casual, one-click ways of copying content right click, text selection, image dragging, common keyboard shortcuts, and mobile long-press. It's not a substitute for copyright registration or watermarking against determined, technical copying, but it closes the door on the vast majority of casual copying.
Will ClickShield slow down my site? No. The protection script is lightweight and loads automatically with the rest of your site it doesn't make any ongoing requests to load or check settings on each page view.
Can I use different messages for different types of protection? Yes. Right click, text selection, image drag, keyboard shortcuts, and mobile long-press each have their own customizable message.
What happens if I don't upgrade after my free trial? Protection pauses automatically your site stops being protected, but none of your settings are lost. Upgrading at any point reactivates everything exactly as you left it.
