GuruGuard Access Protection is a WordPress plugin built by My WordPress Guru for course creators, membership site operators, and coaching platform owners who need to stop premium content from being shared or pirated. Rather than relying purely on hard blocking, GuruGuard combines access controls with traceable, user-level watermarking: it enforces a single active session per account to prevent simple password sharing, and it overlays dynamic, per-user watermarks on protected pages, on video delivered through YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5, and LMS platforms, and on PDF downloads generated server-side for each user. Additional deterrents include screen-recording friction and right-click/text-selection protection, all managed from an admin dashboard with simple toggles. The plugin is offered in two tiers, GuruGuard Security Lite for essential protection and GuruGuard Security Pro for advanced, fully personalized security, sold as a recurring subscription rather than a one-time purchase, with cancellation required at least 48 hours before the next billing date. GuruGuard is one of the productized plugins built by My WordPress Guru, a WordPress development studio led by Faizan Qureshi that otherwise focuses on custom LMS, membership, and community platform builds for coaches and digital brand owners.
Key Features
Single Active Session Enforcement — Prevents concurrent logins on the same account, blocking simple password/account sharing.
Dynamic Page Watermarks — Overlays personalized, user-specific watermarks on protected pages so leaked content can be traced back to the account that shared it.
Video Watermark Protection — Applies per-user watermarks to video delivered via YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5, and LMS platforms.
PDF Download Watermarks — Marks PDF downloads server-side with unique per-user identifiers before delivery.
Screen Recording Deterrents — Adds friction intended to discourage screen recording of protected content.
Right-Click and Text Protection — Restricts right-click and text selection on protected pages to add friction against copying.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Adds personalized, user-level watermarking to pages, video, and PDF downloads, making leaked content traceable back to the account that shared it.
Single active session enforcement blocks simple account-sharing by preventing concurrent logins on the same account.
Covers multiple content types out of the box, including pages, YouTube/Vimeo/HTML5 video, and PDF downloads, without needing separate plugins for each.
Cons
Exact pricing for the Lite and Pro tiers is not published on the site; buyers only see the amount at checkout.
Deterrents such as right-click blocking and screen-recording friction can be bypassed by technically motivated users and may occasionally inconvenience legitimate customers.
Built specifically for WordPress membership and course sites, so it is not usable on non-WordPress platforms.
