I used this plugin to protect the email addresses of the Executive Board of our camera club and a week later they were all hacked! Not good.

It doesn’t work and the developer’s blog hasn’t been updated since 2016. Looks like he has given up on updating this.

It does not work, whichever setting you choose the result does not change, the e-mail remains unencrypted even in the code.

show definitely no effect, either on ajax-loaded content nor on simple wordpress pages…

This plugin is useless for SPAM prevention. Manuel Razzari is spot-on in his review: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bad-by-default-configurable-to-downright-evil/

Thanks a lot for creating this great and useful plugin.
SPAM takes a lot of time in the daily business so it’s best if there’s no SPAM. In Germany we have to present a valid E-Mail address in the imprint of a business website, so it’s quite dangerous that any E-Mail harvesting bot gets what it’s designed to do: harvest valid mail addresses.
So a script like this helps a lot to minimize the chance to feed those bots.

It replaces text strings, but the links are plain as day.

Example:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]"><span class="oe_textdirection">moc.sserdda<span class="oe_displaynone">null</span>@liame</span></a>

Is this the desired outcome? Are the emails really obfuscated?

I never get spam through. This plugin + Akismet for Contact form 7 offer the best spam protection.

I apologize to the author as this plugin has an elegant UI, is nicely coded and looks useful. But I believe there are some misguided and na?ve approaches here that will hurt Web users at large, while not delivering the privacy that site owners expect.

• The “Obfuscate entire email address” option is useless. Email scrappers can decode HTML entities just fine. Most scripting languages can do that in one line of code.
• The CSS text direction technique is evil. Will break email addresses for blind people using screen readers, reading in reverse. (Section 508 compliance anyone?) Also breaks copy/paste.
• Text direction is not only evil, it’s also useless, as the mailto: in the link includes the normal email address anyway.
• The john [at] doe [dot] com approach to email obfuscation is a pain for end users, who actually want to contact you. A JS overlay (as actually suggested in this plugin’s source comments) would be preferred from an usability POV. Non-JS users can still get the “at/dot” text and deal with it.

If you’re in Firefox, don’t test with “View Selection Source” – you have to test with “View Source” for the whole page.
