This plugin allows users to encrypt emails in their content and widgets using a simple shortcode. The encryption uses a native WordPress function antispambot().

To encrypt your email simply use the shortcode:

[encrypt_email email="your@email-here.com" text="Text displayed"]

or since v1.1.0 you can wrap your email in the shortcode using:

[encrypted_email]your@email-here.com[/encrypted_email]

If you want to display specific text use:

[encrypted_email text="Text to be displayed goes here"]your@email-here.com[/encrypted_email]

Since 2.0 you can use the 'Encrypt Email' button on the Visual Editor tab to wrap your selected email.

Since 2.1 a lock icon is displayed beside sucessfully encrypted emails, viewable only for logged in users.

Future Features

• Popup with text fields to insert email and display text for shortcode.
• Options panel with configuration options, including ability to pre-configure shortcode for one-click insertion of admin email and additional types of encryption including ASCII (SINGLE ENCRYPTION), ASCII (DUAL ENCRYPTION), DECHEX, WORDPRESS and RANDOM

Does this plugin work with the newest WordPress version and also older versions?

Yes, this plugin works with WordPress 3 upwards!

Will this work in my theme's widget areas?

As long as the theme has enabled shortcodes in your sidebar / widgets then this method will work. However, if the widget is already inserting the link then this shortcode won't work in such fields. You'll notice upon saving the widget then it removes everything after the first " sign.
