Because the obfuscation is purely done in CSS, the email address remains readable for screen reader software. **Usage** _Email address only:_ ``` [css-email-obfuscator]you@example.com[/css-email-obfuscator] ``` _Clickable email address:_ ``` [css-email-obfuscator mailto="yes"]you@example.com[/css-email-obfuscator] ``` _Clickable email address with custom link text:_ ``` [css-email-obfuscator mailto="yes" email="you@example.com"]Contact me[/css-email-obfuscator] ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * Email address only * [[ * Clickable email address * [[ * Clickable email address with custom link text ## Installation 1. Upload the `css-email-obfuscator` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin (CSS Email Obfuscator) through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress 3. Use the shortcode in any post, page or custom post type. ## FAQ Is JavaScript required to obfuscate the email address? No. This solution is purely based on CSS and won’t use JavaScript at all. Are screen readers able to read the obfuscated email address? Yes, because obfuscation is made using pure CSS. Is the clickable email address still obfuscated? Yes, but due to the limitations of CSS, the contents of the `href` attribute will be encoded as ASCII entities. Does the plugin work with punnycode (umlaut) domains in email addresses? Yes, as long as your blog’s charset is set to UTF-8 (wich is default). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/deece6b1a8b7327f1d69995d768876132c4705452cef20ebdc24fa0908f941f8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works for me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-for-me-373/)󠁿 [kesscowp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kesscowp/) April 5, 2020 I was in need of hiding email addresses, and installed CSS Email Obfuscator.
