Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Email Encoder – Protect Email Addresses and Phone Numbers
You can test this in three different ways. The easiest (and most efficient) way is to use our website checker, which looks over your website and detects unprotected emails. It is completely free and you can find it here on our website. The second possibility is to enable the plugin option (in the admin panel) called "Security Check". When you are logged in and look on the page there will be a icon on the right side of each email address confirming it was successfully encoded. (This counts only for emails that are displayed within the body tag as HTML. Emails within data attributes or the header won't show this icon since otherwise the site breaks.) The third possibility is to check the source code yourself by right-clicking on the page and select View Source Code (the exact text depends on the browser). Now your (real) source code will be shown. Your email address should not be shown in a readable way in the source. Important: in the element inspector of the browser the email address is nearly always shown, so don't worry about that. That is because the inspector shows a real time representation of the page. This means an encoded email address is already decoded and made usable for the visitor of the page.
All email addresses are protected automatically by default, so it is not necessary to configure anything else. In case you wish to customize it, we also offer some neatsettings, shortcodes and template functions. Please check the settings page within your WordPress website or our documentation The visitors will see everything as normal, but the source behind it will now be encoded. For more information, please check out the following page
Just use the following shortcode within your posts: [eeb_protect_content]35-01235-468113[/eeb_protect_content] For other parts of your site you can use the template function eeb_protect_content().
First: Don't panic! Simply create a support request within the support forum and we will come back to you as soon as possible with help.
Every content will be automatically protected. In case you find something, that doesn't work from your end, we are very happy to help! Our plugin is fully compatible with WP Webhooks and plugins created via Pluginplate
Yes, since version 1.3.0 also special characters are supported.
