 * When I enter my mailadres in the Social Media options, contact email, it is generated
   and displayed as mailto:[http://mailadres@mail.xx](http://mailadres@mail.xx) 
   instead of mailto:mailadres@mail.xx

 * There is nothing I want to do, but you see the problem when you hover with you
   mouse over the emailadress in the header of a site. On the bottom of your browser
   page, you can see the link that’s created. That link is not correct.
    To see 
   what I mean, create a new WordPress site, install the Guardian theme and activate
   it, and see on the site what happens. In the header you can see “guardian@gmail.
   com”, but a link mailto:[http://guardian@gmail.com](http://guardian@gmail.com)
   is created (as you can see on the bottom of your browser page) instead of mailto:
   guardian@gmail.com. The “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); should be removed (?)

 * Hi,
 * Create a **“Child-Theme”** first.
 * After it create a **“header.php”** into your
 * **“Child-Theme”** directory.
 * Now copy the code from this [Link](http://pastebin.com/7mpCfHDM) and paste into**“
   header.php”** file
 * of your **“Child-Theme”** directory.
 * Save the changes.
 * Thanks.
