How to disable right click on impact theme?

Store Design

Topic summary

A user seeks to disable right-click functionality on their Shopify store using the Impact theme. Multiple developers provide similar solutions:

Proposed Solution:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Themes → Edit Code
  • Open the theme.liquid file
  • Insert JavaScript code above the </body> tag that prevents the context menu from appearing

Code Variations Offered:
Two slightly different JavaScript implementations were shared:

  1. Using oncontextmenu="return false;" in a script tag
  2. Using document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); });

Current Status:
The discussion remains unresolved. The original poster tested the suggested solutions but reported they “doesn’t work,” indicating the code snippets failed to disable right-click as intended. One responder requested the store URL for further troubleshooting, but no follow-up solution has been provided yet.
