Create email address link in wordpress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing special about a link to an email address in WordPress, you do it the same way as in any other system. It’s completely standard hmtl and you can put it anywhere in the header, menu, content or in your footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linking to an email address can be useful and modern phones and browsers open an email program automatically when such a link is clicked, making it easier for the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principle is very simple \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical link looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/kobotolo.se<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and a link to the email address<\/strong> looks like this (custom email address link in html):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mailto:info@kobotolo.se<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  In other words, you create an email address link in wordpress by selecting the word you want as a link and then clicking on the paper clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you copy, make sure to change to your own email address \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Email in the menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can also use an email address link in the navigation menu. Then create a custom link in the menu and select the text you want and then a link as above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protect your email address (email)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is an ongoing discussion, and has been for several years, about whether to hide your email address.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have seen many different solutions on how to hide the address. The most common is to write your email address as info (at) kobotolo.se. If you want to do that, it is of course not possible to have the address clickable at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
I am of the opinion that spam is the mail program’s problem and that it is important that it is possible to send mail to me in a smooth way, but I know that others think differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sometimes people use the possibility of email scraping, this is unfortunate and here is <\/a>some information on what you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
