Newbie question about footer email

Just like this:

Website made by <a href="<?= eae_encode_str( 'mailto:[email protected]' ); ?>">Myself</a>

Or if you want to display an email address, you could do this:

Email me at <a href="<?= eae_encode_str( 'mailto:[email protected]' ); ?>"><?= eae_encode_str( 'mailto:[email protected]' ); ?></a>

It doesn’t seem to work.

The output is something like

https://www.mysite.com/%3C?=%20eae_encode_str(%20%27mailto:[email protected]%27%20);%20?%3E

Mhh, could you post the entire file where you insert the “Website made by” link? Or is it inside text field in WordPress?

It is inside a text field, it accepts standard html code but apparently it has some problems with php.

If it is relevant, I’m using X Theme from Themeco.

Since that’s a premium theme I can’t access the source code. Could you ask their support team if there is a way to filter the inputs of that text field where you insert the footer text?

I’ll try to ask in their support forum then. Thank you.

You’ll need to do something like:

add_filter( 'x_theme_footer_text', 'eae_encode_emails' );

I’ve asked in their forum but they don’t provide support for third party plugins.

That’s a pity. Like I said, I sadly can’t help you with this issue without having access to the source code of your theme. If you like, you can hire me to work out this issue directly on your server.

Thank you for your offer, but at the moment I’d like to try how to solve this myself, if you could be so kind to give me a couple more answers. (I’m kinda new about all of this and every issue is an opportunity to learn; anyway, if you can’t or don’t want to help me further, I understand).

If I’m not wrong, your previous suggestion is a function that I need to add to my (child) theme functions.php ; the last bit of text is related to your plugin, and the first one (x_theme_footer_text) is your guess about my current theme, am I right?

Maybe this question is silly, but is this a CSS selector?

You have to first find out how and where your theme is displaying the footer text your entered in WordPress. I first guess would be to check the footer.php file of your theme.

I’d compare the output generated by your theme (with the un-encoded email address) and then look at the footer.php file to see where that text field is printed.

If you’re cool with hit, you could post the contents of your footer.php file. Use something like https://pastebin.com for that.

Hello!

Can you please help me with coding the email to my header? The email is pulled from the theme options so I am not sure what to do.

The function is below:

<?php if ( '' !== ( $et_email = et_get_option( 'header_email' ) ) ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_attr( 'mailto:' . $et_email ); ?>"><span id="et-info-email"><?php echo esc_html( $et_email ); ?></span></a>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( '' !== ( $et_email = eae_encode_str( et_get_option( 'header_email' ) ) ) ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_attr( 'mailto:' . $et_email ); ?>"><span id="et-info-email"><?php echo esc_html( $et_email ); ?></span></a>
<?php endif; ?>

Yey! You’re the best!

I’ll share this with the theme’s authors (Divi).

This was marked as solved but was just the second poster’s problem.
