Protect tel:-Links?

Hey @hessi2 – Thank you a lot for your message, as well as for using our plugin. From your message, you mentioned you added tel: to the field, correct?
If so, please do remove the double points at the end.
Feel free to let me know in case you have any further questions.

Hi Ironikus,

Thanks for the prompt reply, but it does not seem to work.
Is there anything wrong with my link?
<a href="tel:+491609xxxxxx">0160 92 xx xx xx</a>

TIA
Regards
Michael

Edit: sorry, forgot to activate “code” for the links in the first posting.

Hey @hessi2 – Thank you very much for your feedback. I just tried your code piece on a clean WP installation and it just worked fine.
Do you use any specific page builder or anything that can manipulate that code before it is returned?

Alternatively, you can also use our shortcode to protect the phone number:
[eeb_protect_content protection_text=”I am a noscript text” method=”rot13″ do_shortcode=”yes”]+491609xxxxxxl[/eeb_protect_content]

Hi Ironikus,

Thanks for the prompt reply, I use only “Fastest Cache”. Currently I have protected the phone numbers manually with the shortcode. It’s fine like that, but I thought that feedback might be interesting.

working with page builders, using the generated protection code for a phone number is quite punishing. wouldn’t it be possible to integrate phone numbers into the scanning mechanism? maybe by first telling the plugin what to look for by setting a specific phone number format, or simply by looking for the tel: part.

i think this would be an amazing addition to the already great plugin.
