wL Email Encrypter

March 28, 2011

wL Email Encrypter Plugin

This plugin encrypted e-mail addresses to protect and hide them from bots and harvesters.

wL Email Encrypter scans pages, articles, comments or RSS feeds for email addresses and encrypts them using JavaScript or replacing the @ signs with your own text like [at]. This allows bots and other email-collectors do not recognize and save the emails.

A visitor who has not activated JavaScript, gets displayed a userdefined message about it.

If an user is logged in, the emails won’t be encrypted.

The protect method can be set separately for posts, comments and rss feeds. For example, RSS Feeds should not include JavaScript, so there should prefer the @ sign to be replaced.

wL Email Encrypter also recognizes with mailto: email addresses linked with subject information and others, and protect this information also.

There is a meta box for page-specific settings in the administration, in which a specific protection can be selected or disabled.

Take a look at the screenshots to find out more.

FAQ

The emails are not displayed, but in the source code I find the js function wlee_decrypt(). What’s going on?

Your theme lacks the <?php wp_head(); ?> hook. Please add it right before </head> in your theme’s header.php file.

I choose a protection, but I can’t see an effect on the page.

The emails are only encrypted from unregistered visitors. Log out to see the effect.

What languages are available?

  • English
  • German

If you want to translate the plugin in your language, you can translate the .pot-File in the languages-folder and then send me the translated file via email.

All translators will be listed here and on my website.

What emails will be encrypted?

wL Email Encrypter scans each page, post, comment and rss-feed for all emails, also linked emails with subjects like [email protected]?subject=text and encrypted them. No shortcodes or something else required.

And if I do not want to encrypt some emails?

Then there is a Meta Box on the posts and pages subPanel. Here you can select or disable the protection for this post/page.

Can I protect email addresses that are not in a post/page?

Yes, you can use the theme function wlee_check($string) to protect emails in any text. Settings for pages/posts will be used.
Find out more at the options page.

What will visitors see without Javascript?

Visitors without or with disabled JavaScript will see a userdefined message that JavaScript is required or an userdefined pseudo adress like mail [at] example [dot] com
