Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Developer Tools Blocker
yes, developer tools is detected when the user first loads the page. If developer tools was opened on another site first, its detected by the plugin. no matter when or where developer tools was opened, it should get blocked.
yes, this plugin detects if a user is has "manage_options" permission, and only blocks those who do not have permission.
common keys including f12 get blocked.
There is a setting you can toggle on or off to decide if you want to block right click.
the plugin attempts to block non-admin users from inspect element, including on wp-login. If you would like to better protect wp-login, there is another plugin by SwiftNinjaPro that will only allow specific IP's to assess wp-login https://wordpress.org/plugins/swiftninjapro-wp-login-whitelist-ip/
unfortunately, there is always a way for someone to find a work-around to any code. Opening the console is done client side, so it can only be detected client side. This plugin does make it much harder for non-admins to inspect element though.
This could be because of the browser your using. Some browsers may respond differently. If you cant access your site, you can do 1 of 2 things to disable this plugin: 1. Contact your host, and ask them to disable the plugin manually 2. Use FTP, Filezilla, or cpanel, then (click "File Manager", if using cpanel) navigate to public_html/wp-content/plugins, then find the folder "swiftninjapro-inspect-element-console-blocker" and rename it to "swiftninjapro-inspect-element-console-blocker-off" to disable the plugin.
