Double encoding?

Hi josie, what’s the original html before being messed up by the plugin?

I occasionally see the same thing – this is one of the sites where it happens: https://coalshedstudios.com/. I thought it might be a race condition – occasionally when landing on a page I’ll see the javascript instead of the encoded email.

This is what I see in dev tools when it is working correctly. (Of course now that I’m trying to reproduce the problem I can’t. Maybe it doesn’t happen once the page is cached. ):

<script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="r@lginp =wct>/s-ke<u.aho:jm\"f",mi="BE7:2E>>8KJE42;G?245@K7F0AL8KJE42;GH;I9E2@C613JE42D:GJK7<;I9E2@C613JE42D:GJB=E<",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());</script>
<a class="mailto-link" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
<br>
<noscript>*protected email*</noscript>

I’m using chrome on an old intel imac. None of the people I’ve created these sites for have mentioned this issue, so it apparently isn’t too prevalent

The html as displayed by the wordpress editor would be something like:

send an email to Joe Blow ([email protected])

Here we go — happened again. Here’s what the returned code looks like (with phone number edited to protect the innocent)

<p>415.123.4567<br>
415.234.5678<br>
<script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="/kifp <script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="r:t m@fal/s-in>\"ckeho=.<",mi="G73@87::E?47<82D;8<=A?3C0B6E?47<82D1752D=:FCB@?3>752D=:FCB@G97>",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());</script><noscript>*protected email*</noscript>:=rm>l<x\"-",mi="f65?e6;;ahc62e89ie2:1h5=b>3AHC62E89@=>BCG4B>;;769E<!--?9CH5D=-->BCG4B>;;769E<!--?9CF06D",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());</script--><br>
<noscript>*protected email*</noscript>
</x\"-",mi="f65?e6;;ahc62e89ie2:1h5=b></p>

And this is what is displayed in screen instead of an email address:
:=rm>l3AHC62E89@=>BCG4B>;;769EBCG4B>;;769E

Interesting – only the first email in a set of posts on this page appearing garbled this morning:
https://coalshedstudios.com/artists/

Here’s the html of the munged one:

<script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="tr-\"moc=>ln:< <script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="-\":fzolkm<>nr@t/eca =i.sh",mi="9BCA6BGGD18BE6>506E;71CH<@3D18BE6>52BH=3GF@E41C:BH=3GF@E49?B:",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());</script><noscript>*protected email*</noscript>/k",mi="<>=69>BB734>E90529E:H3=?1DA734>E905;4>6HD:FED4>1B?>99@156HD04>E9C6543=84>6HD:FED4>1B?>99@156HD04>E9C654<g>8",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charat(mi.charcodeat(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());< script=""><br>
<noscript>*protected email*</noscript>
</l;j++){o+=ml.charat(mi.charcodeat(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());<></g>

and the correctly appearing one right next to it:

<script type="text/javascript">(function(){var ml="aobrsm@=k 7h/.>fve5:\"-ctnxli<g",mi="L09FJ0447D50KJG1EJKH8D9;3A?7D50KJG1CI0@21H:B6M50KJ=F15D9>I0@21H:B6M50KJ=F15L<0>",o="";for(var j=0,l=mi.length;j<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(o);}());</script><a class="mailto-link" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br>
<noscript>*protected email*</noscript>

Thanks!
