Secure mailto links in Social Links Menu

I’ve used this in the past to good effect: https://hivelogic.com/enkoder/

Thanks, justadandak, I had thought of that, but I didn’t think I’d didn’t think JavaScript would work in a custom link in WordPress.

I whipped up a little function that’ll take care of this for you automagically ??

Just drop it inside your functions.php file or use it as a plugin:

<?php

/**
 * Protect email addresses in WordPress menu.
 */
if ( ! function_exists( 'protect_menu_email_address_links' ) ) {
	function protect_menu_email_address_links( $link ) {

		$href = $link['href'];

		// If the link starts with mailto i.e. is an email link:
		if ( $href && preg_match( '/^mailto/i', $href ) ) {

			// Replace it with a "protected" version:
			$href = preg_replace( '/^mailto:(.*)/i', '$1', $href );
			$href = 'mailto:' . antispambot( $href, 1 );

			$link['href'] = $href;
		}

		return $link;
	}
	add_filter( 'nav_menu_link_attributes', 'protect_menu_email_address_links' );
}

?>

Wow. Thank you! How do I use it as a plugin?

You can download the plugin version here:

Just download the .zip file from GitHub and install it in WordPress by going to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin -> Browse -> Install Now. Activate it and you’re set!

Alternatively, you can use an FTP client to upload the unpacked zip file into the wp_content/plugins directory on your hosting server.

Thank you! That’s very kind.

You can now also find it on the WP plugin repo:

Thanks!

No problem ??
