Soliloquy Protection Addon is a specialized security extension that disables right-click functionality on slider images to prevent unauthorized downloads. The plugin acts as a barrier against casual image theft by restricting access to the browser’s context menu. Photographers and digital artists use this to safeguard their creative work while still showcasing high-quality visuals.
WPExclusive members get access to Protection Addon as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Soliloquy collection →
What Is Soliloquy Protection Addon?
Soliloquy Protection Addon is developed by Soliloquy and is a security plugin for WordPress sliders. It belongs to the security category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content protection. This extension specifically targets the vulnerability of hosted images by blocking the standard save-as commands used by typical visitors.
It solves the problem of simple image scraping where users can easily lift high-resolution assets from a gallery. The plugin is designed for professionals who need to display their portfolios without giving away free copies of their files.
Soliloquy Protection Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing a non-intrusive yet effective layer of defense for visual content.
Comprehensive Right-Click Disabling
The plugin disables the ability for visitors to right-click and download images in both the standard slider display and lightbox views. This ensures that even when a user expands an image to its full size, the protection remains active. By covering both viewing modes, Protection Addon leaves no easy gaps for manual saving.
Global and Individual Controls
Once activated, the plugin manages protection automatically for all newly created sliders. For existing assets, users can quickly update settings to apply the new restrictions. If specific galleries do not require security, you can turn off image protection on an individual basis by unchecking a simple option in the plugin’s Misc settings tab.
