Description
Obfuscate your email address by using a simple shortcode. Because the obfuscation is purely done in CSS, the email address remains readable for screen reader software.
Usage
Email address only:
[css-email-obfuscator]you@example.com[/css-email-obfuscator]
Clickable email address:
[css-email-obfuscator mailto="yes"]you@example.com[/css-email-obfuscator]
Clickable email address with custom link text:
[css-email-obfuscator mailto="yes" email="you@example.com"]Contact me[/css-email-obfuscator]

- Is JavaScript required to obfuscate the email address?
-
No. This solution is purely based on CSS and won’t use JavaScript at all.
- Are screen readers able to read the obfuscated email address?
-
Yes, because obfuscation is made using pure CSS.
- Is the clickable email address still obfuscated?
-
Yes, but due to the limitations of CSS, the contents of the

Yes, as long as your blog’s charset is set to UTF-8 (wich is default).
