 * Hi, I tried this plugin on a simple page with a mailto and plain text email address.
   Unfortunately, the rendered page retained the original email address formats –
   no obfuscation.
 * This was done on a clean WP 3.4.1 install + twenty eleven theme. No other plugins
   or theme mods.
 * Thanks for all suggestions in resolving this.

 * Hi Awoz,
 * I installed the plugin as well, but I am not sure how to test if it is compatible
   with WP 3.4.1. Did you find out if it works in 3.4.1?
    Thanks,
 * Peter

 * There is always a chance that this plugin will misbehave because of interaction
   with other plugins. So just look for proper operation:
    – create a page or post
   with an mailto link. – visit the page and verify that the email address displays
   properly – verify that you can click it to send an email – finally verify that
   it is obfuscated
 * For the last test you could look at the page source code but that is insufficient.
   You need some way to ‘fake an email bot’. I haven’t tried this, but there may
   be free services that will scan your site for email addresses – just be careful
   in choosing one.
 * And yes, it does seem to work with 3.4.1.

 * Awoz, thank you very much for your clear and complete response!
 * I will follow your advice even though I am a bit pressed for time to get my site
   published. If it is likely that this plugin will work with 3.4.1 I might go ahead
   for now and do the testing later.
 * If, by any chance, you have found another solution that you *know* for sure works
   with 3.4.1, I would appreciate if you could let me know.
 * This was my first post in this forum, and your response inspires me in confirms
   that WP is the right choice for a CMS.

 * Aloha Peter,
 * The WP community was one reason for switching our website from another CMS package.
   I’m still in the process of supplementing our static page site with dynamic posts.
   As a volunteer for our Church, it does take some perseverance to design and maintain
   a site. Find some good WP related sites for additional guidance and you should
   be fine.
 * – Cheers
