The plugin doesn’t protect emails. Email addresses still can be found in the page source Hi @egoruk , something seems to went wrong if the e-mail addresses are still visible as “plain text”. normally cryptex executes 2 actions to protect the addresses: 1. the address/text is expressed as an image (or multiple images) 2. the “mailto link” is obfuscated by using simple key-shifting algorithm therefore it should never shown a plain text address if you’ve set the E-Mail Security Level (Cryptex -> Appearance -> E-Mail) to images. the “text” option of this setting does only exists for backward compatibility. could you please provide a link to your site and a small code snippet how you’ve added the addresses (via shortcode or autodetection) ? best regards, Andi Hi Andi, I don’t think Autodetect works. I ended up using this format: [email]youraddress@example.com[/email] If I use [cryptex href=”mailto:info@example.com”]Click to email[/cryptex] or [email href=”mailto:info@example.com”]Click to email[/email] the emaails are visible in the page source. You can see here at the bottom: see this page or take a look around other pages Thanks! i cannot see any plain text addresses within your page (linked above). the header e-mail is obfuscated by the following code: <!--CTX!--><span rel="66312d306b310a30833123308f311a307d312b30893125306a312630" class="cryptex " style=""><span class="CryptexImg ctxVBDd9ZrNCa8WMB3djPBWo_dmTbAcVx_XIJGFS5jqCuQ"></span></span><!--/CTX!--> the footer looks like this: <!--CTX!--><span rel="65312d30a0313431b6311f3196311031ad311431bb310b31a7312131ad312f31c6312a31d0311831c7311731c6313731b7313c319e312e31a8312231a5313a31a3312431aa310c30b3311f31c331" class="cryptex " style=""><span class="CryptexImg ctxnvGtzGQlq1AIuOPIlyNb1-Pt63VCcEZyxoYQ57WZDE4"></span><span class="divider" style="">[at]</span><span class="CryptexImg ctxDw0Pxf-dH_iLF89nr3mMQZkE1kkwuuxbZtrKKYcJXQc"></span><span class="divider" style="">[.]</span><span class="CryptexImg ctxCvjVa3Tpzp1SckSyxbuGFeyM3aib_LRuTEGJIIQbId0"></span></span><!--/CTX!--><br /> <!--CTX!--><span rel="66312d306b310a30833123308f311a307d312b30893125306a312630" class="cryptex " style=""><span class="CryptexImg ctxVBDd9ZrNCa8WMB3djPBWo_dmTbAcVx_XIJGFS5jqCuQ"></span></span><!--/CTX!--> but your footer has an issue! – you’ve mixed a hyperlink (html code) with cryptex – this wont work. therefore please remove (delete) the text within the wordpress editor and add it again (no copy+paste) —– but why do you think the addresses will be displayed as plain text ? i don’t understand your issue at the moment. best regards, Andi my last post has been suspended for manual moderation. i’ve copied the content to github: https://github.com/AndiDittrich/WordPress.Cryptex/issues/7 Andi, I’m not clear what is the issue with the footer. I don’t see it.

As of the opening question. I wanted to have the email links in this format: `[cryptex href=”mailto:info@example.com”]Click to email[/cryptex] and it was not working. i’ve just copy+pasted the code [cryptex href="mailto:info@example.com"]Click to email[/cryptex] into the testing environment and everything is working as expected: the text “Click to email” is displayed as an image and the e-mail address is clickable via the cryptex javascript code. btw. the quotation marks of your code snippet are looking weird
