# How to Disable Find (Ctrl +F/ Ctrl + G) on WordPress website?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Extension Content Protection disables the browser Find shortcut sitewide, along with other common hotkeys, to prevent Ctrl + F or Ctrl + G conflicts on a WordPress website.
- Nexter → Extensions → Security is the path to the Content Protection settings, where the Disable Search Hot Keys toggle is enabled under the Protections tab.
- Who Can Access lets site owners exclude selected user roles from the restriction, so those users still use the Find shortcut after clicking Save.

At times, users may have assigned common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + F or Ctrl + G to other applications or games. Disabling the browser Find shortcut on your WordPress website prevents those hotkeys from conflicting with your site experience.

The Content Protection feature in Nexter Extension lets you disable specific keyboard shortcuts sitewide. You can turn off the browser Find shortcut and other common hotkeys based on your preferences.

**Best Used For:**

- Gaming or interactive WordPress sites where Ctrl+F conflicts with in-page keyboard shortcuts- Sites with protected or proprietary content where browser-level content discovery should be restricted- Member portals and course sites that want to prevent users from searching for hidden content using browser shortcuts

To disable the Find feature, follow the steps below:

From the Dashboard, go to **Nexter** → **Extensions** → **Security**.

In the **Content Protection** section, enable the toggle and click the gear icon (⚙) to open the settings.

In the settings popup, go to the **Protections** tab and enable the **Disable Search Hot Keys** toggle.

From the **Who Can Access** section, select the user roles you want to exclude from this restriction. Users with those roles will still be able to use the Find shortcut.

Click **Save**.
