TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to display email addresses on their site without exposing them to spam bots. It converts a human-readable format like "email AT address DOT com" into a clickable email link when JavaScript is enabled, while keeping it readable to humans (including screen reader users) when it is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HumansNotBots - Easy, Accessible Email Cloaker

In a test comparing the effectiveness of different obfuscation methods in 2008, the obfuscation method "Using ATs and DOTs" received much less spam than "Replacing @ and . with Entities". Assuming that the 2008 test is an accurate model, this plugin should reduce over 99% of spam without compromising accessibility. "CSS display: none" should not be used, because screen readers cannot read content styled with display: none either. Reversing email addresses and using ROT-13 encryption are obviously not accessible, either.

Yes. Any email address with a TLD (top-level domain) of two, three, or four characters would work.

Yes. Email address that end in "co.uk" always worked, but as of version 3.2, you can use the intuitive form: email AT address DOT co.uk. Something is broken. Remember that the AT and DOT must be all uppercase (capital letters). You can also try going to Settings and change the replacement method to "Walk the DOM", which is the new default for version 3.0+. If you still have problems, you can post your question in the forum and make sure your post has the tag humansnotbots. Another option is to post your question here.
