Overview
NOTE: this plugin is targeted to advanced users and professionals – it requires some configuration tasks and won’t work out-of-the-box!
The plugin is used to display Email addresses as an image – automatically.
This will stop harvesters and crawlers from gathering sensitive data from your website.
It works with emails, telephone numbers, postal addresses or any other text-content.
Just wrap your E-Mail-Address into a shortcode like [email][email protected][/email] – that’s it.
Or use the Autodetect filter to transform every E-Mail-Address on your page automatically into an image!
