Protect text, images, clipboard actions, and selected content with admin-managed rules.

== Description ==

CMH Protect Kit gives WordPress site owners practical, local tools for reducing unwanted copying, dragging, and reuse of published content. It combines content protection controls, image watermarking, protected-content access rules, and visitor-facing message styling in one focused admin interface.

Use CMH Protect Kit to apply protection to selected WordPress views, posts, pages, media, and public post types. You can choose the visitor roles that should receive protection, keep forms and editors usable with safety exclusions, and customize the messages shown when a protected action is blocked.

Key features include:

* Text selection and clipboard protection for copy, cut, paste, and select-all actions.
* Mouse protection for right-click and drag actions.
* Targeting for standard WordPress views, public post types, and selected visitor roles.
* Safety exclusions for super admins, form fields, editors, and custom CSS selectors.
* Image watermarking with image or text marks, built-in watermark images, opacity controls, sizing, positioning, and margins.
* Server-side uploaded-image watermark delivery with image type matching and image CSS selector exclusions.
* Protected content access rules for content placed inside the `[cmhpk_block]` shortcode.
* Unlock options for shortcode-protected content, including custom message, password, and login access.
* Customizable alert messages, positions, colors, typography, spacing, borders, and preview controls.
* Import and export tools for moving or backing up plugin settings.

The plugin stores settings locally in WordPress and does not require a CodeMaster Hub account or license key. An optional Pro add-on is available for sites that need separate visitor blocking, activity logging, advanced targeting, and managed update modules.
