FAQ
This plugin searches for email addresses using WordPress filters like the_content, widget_text and others. Found email addresses are encoded using decimal and hexadecimal HTML entities, which obfuscates the email addresses to protect it from being read by most email-harvesting robots.
Alternatively, you can use the [encode] shortcode: [encode]+1 (555) 123-4567[/encode]
