What it does
Publishing an email address on a website makes it easy for people to reach you, and just as easy for automated bots to scrape it and add it to spam lists. This plugin addresses that by converting the addresses on your pages into encoded formats. Visitors see and click a normal email address, while harvesting robots reading the raw page find something they cannot easily use. The result is that you can keep contact details on display without handing them to spammers.
The plugin scans your WordPress site and encodes email addresses automatically, so you do not need to edit every page by hand. For cases where you want direct control, an [encode] shortcode lets you wrap a specific address, and it accepts a class attribute for styling. You can adjust how addresses are encoded through the settings, and it works on WordPress multisite networks. It suits blogs, business sites and any site with a contact page.
Best for
- Business sites that display contact email addresses
- Bloggers who publish their email on pages or posts
- Agencies managing WordPress multisite networks

Adjust how your email addresses are encoded through the plugin settings to match the level of protection your site needs.

Questions about Email Address Encoder

Do I have to edit every page to protect my emails?
No. The plugin scans your WordPress site and encodes email addresses automatically. If you want to protect a particular address manually, you can also wrap it in the [encode] shortcode, which supports a class attribute for styling.
Can I use it on a WordPress multisite network?
Yes. The plugin is multisite compatible, so you can use it to protect email addresses across the sites in a WordPress multisite network rather than handling each site separately.
Can I change how my email addresses are encoded?
Yes. The plugin includes customizable encoding options in its settings, letting you tailor how addresses are encoded to suit the protection you want on your site.
