A lightweight plugin that protects plain email addresses and mailto links from email-harvesting robots, by encoding them into decimal and hexadecimal entities. Has an effect on the posts, pages, comments, excerpts, text widgets and other filtered content. Works without JavaScript — just simple spam protection. To see whether all your email addresses are properly protected, use the free page scanner tool. Other content (like phone numbers) can be protected using [encode] shortcode: [encode]+1 (555) 123-4567[/encode] [encode link="tel:+15551234567"]+1 (555) 123-4567[/encode] Premium Features Full-page protection that catches all email addresses Hardened protection using JavaScript and CSS techniques Improved phone number protection Built-in plugin support for ACF, Jetpack, WooCommerce and many others Check out the Premium version of Email Address Encoder.
