TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who enter email addresses in posts or pages. It obfuscates those addresses into HTML entities via a shortcode so spambots can't harvest them while browsers still display and link them normally.

  • Adds [email] shortcode
  • Converts emails to HTML entities
  • Blocks spambot harvesting
  • Hyperlinks email addresses
  • Uses built-in antispambot() function
