Overview
General Usage
- Under E-Mail Settings, modify the setting Method Used To Send E-Mail accordingly. If the method is wrong, no email will get sent.
- You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)
- Open
wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php(You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also)- Find:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> - Simply add this code inside the loop where you want the email link to display:
if(function_exists('email_link')) { email_link(); }
- Find:
If you DO NOT want the email link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just use the shortcode by typing [email_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the email link into that post/page only.

Outstanding Little Must Have
by Flashpaper·10 years ago
This plugin is seriously good stuff. One of my clients has a use case where people without social media accounts need to share the link to the page but shouldn’t be forced to use their own e-mail client. I had that setup in minutes thanks to both the great documentation and the really well-thought-out administrative areas. Kudos!!
Very useful!
