Does it cloak the email?

    Hello,

    I noticed in the code the mailto:[email protected] is part of the link wrapping the short code. I’m wondering if the bots won’t pick up the mailto:…. address?

    If you are using the shortcode as intended.
    [email] or
    [email name=”cfe-john”]
    The “view source” on the code, which is the source code for the page will display.
    <a href=”#”><span class=”cfe-jsemail”>loading…</span></a>.

    The email is pulled dynamically into the page via javascript. Dynamic javascript is not rendered as source code, therefore cloaking the email from scrapers. The plugin also detects headless browsers (phantomjs and slimjs) that will render javascript, but the plugin stops the email address from being retrieved by javascript if those headless browsers are detected therefore not displaying your email address.

    Not a support question really. Marking resolved.
