    Hi,

    On the “About Us” widget on the footer I have my contact information and the phone number is clickable on the mobile version. I want to add a clickable link to the email address as well, I searched the forums and online blogs but couldn’t find a CSS code.

    I’m using a self hosted WP website.

    If you can point me toward where I should enter the CSS code as well I’d much appreciate it.

    Thank you in advance.

    It’s not a CSS thing. You need to make that link a link. Are you using a link tool? The format of the link link is <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

    Hi Steven,

    I checked but I don’t seem to have a direct linking tool and I couldn’t find a widget for it either. What did you mean by link tool? I’m using a self hosted wp website so the link symbol does not show up when I highlight a text.

    The email link is on the “about us” widget so I don’t think I can edit the address from the widget itself. I might be able to add a CSS code to the appropriate place, the widget shortcode itself or the theme php code.

    A link to a phone number on the about us widget has been added previously by another admin, so I know it’s possible. That link only works on mobile. I don’t know how they coded it or linked it so that it only works on mobile. I couldn’t find a related phrase on the CSS or a widget for it.

    Any ideas on how I can link to email or find out (with phrase on the CSS or otherwise) how the phone number was previously linked?

    Thank you in advance.

    Phone browsers recognize things like phone numbers and email addresses.
