Use cases

Key features

What the element does, in plain terms. Every individual control is listed in the settings reference below.

Scope

Scope modes

Images only, which is the default, or full page context menu blocking.

Optional text selection block

Off by default in images-only mode, so ordinary reading and quoting are unaffected.

Behaviour

Optional one-time toast

A subtle message the first time a blocked action is attempted.

Editor exemption

Logged-in users with edit capability bypass all deterrent scripts, and no frontend assets are loaded for them at all.

Settings reference

Every setting the element exposes, grouped by builder tab. Options are listed where the setting offers a fixed set of choices.

Scope General tab

Scope mode

Images only · Full page

Images only blocks dragging and the context menu on images, which is the least disruptive option. Full page blocks the context menu across the whole document.

Block text selection

Off by default

Prevents selecting text. This frustrates visitors who need to copy an address or a quotation, so it is off unless deliberately enabled.

Block image drag

On

Stops images being dragged out of the page to the desktop or another window.

Feedback General tab

One-time toast

On · Off

Shows a short message the first time a visitor attempts a blocked action, instead of failing silently.

Toast message

The wording of that message, which is a good place to point visitors at a licensing or contact page.

Extras Extras tab

Conditional Rendering

Avada logic conditions

Shows or hides the element based on logged-in state, user role, and the other conditions Avada’s logic system offers.
