Hi,
Are all the email addresses display in the theme protected from bot harvesting email address (protected from spam)? If not do you have recommendation to obfuscate (protect) these email addresses? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Shegga,

Sorry! Email address that display in the top bar is not spam protected. We use it as a contact purpose. If you would like to protect it then you may use plugin available free in wordpress.org but we can not recommended any plugin and also can not guarantee that thirty party plugin works fine in our theme.

Thank you!

Can you give me a solution to protect the email address on the top and bottom bar? It is part of your theme design and even when use as contact purpose, I believe prone to be harvested by spambot.

Hi shegga,

Yes you can do one thing. Install this plugin Email Address Encoder from WordPress directory.

Doing it you go to theme folder -> inc -> structure -> header-extension.php on line no 173 you will find below code
$interface_footer_infoblog .= is_email($options[ 'social_email'] );

Replae above code with this code
$interface_footer_infoblog .= eae_encode_str( is_email($options[ 'social_email'] ) );

Note: We recommended not to change the code because if you change the code then while updating to our new version all your customisation code will be lost. So better make child theme and first unhook the functions and the edit the code.

Thank you!

After I implement the code, how can I see that the email protection is actually working?

Hi shegga,

View your source code and then you will not see normal email id. For example you can view this image

Thank you!

I have tried creating the child theme with modified header-extension.php file (per your instruction) with the same folder structure but still not working. Please help me with the proper instruction in how to create a child theme in relation with your theme and the email protection. Thank you.

Doing only this Your child theme is created. Now to make your email address secure it needs code customization. Create a functios.php file and add the below code under it

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'interface_enqueue_styles' );
function interface_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'interface', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}
function interface_footer_infoblog( $set_flags, $place ='') {
	
	global $array_of_default_settings;
 	$options = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'interface_theme_options', array() ), interface_get_option_defaults());
	$interface_footer_infoblog = '';
	$place = '';
	if($set_flags || (!empty($options['social_phone'] ) || !empty($options['social_email'] ) || !empty($options['social_location']))){
	$interface_footer_infoblog .=  '<div class="info-bar">
		<div class="container clearfix">';
		if(!empty($options['social_phone'] ) || !empty($options['social_email'] ) || !empty($options['social_location']) ) {
			$interface_footer_infoblog .=  '<div class="info clearfix">
											<ul>';
		if ( !empty($options['social_phone'] )){ 
		
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= '<li class=' .'"phone-number"'. '><a title='. __( '" Call Us "', 'interface' ).' '. 'href=' .'"tel:' ;
		$interface_footer_infoblog .=  preg_replace("/[^() 0-9+-]/", '', $options[ 'social_phone' ]) ; 
		
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= '">';
		$interface_footer_infoblog .=  preg_replace("/[^() 0-9+-]/", '', $options[ 'social_phone' ]) ;
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= '</a></li>';
		 
				} if (!empty($options['social_email'] )){ 
		
		
		$interface_footer_infoblog .='<li class=' .'"email"'. '><a title=' . __( '" Mail Us "', 'interface' ). ' ' . 'href=' .'"mailto:';
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= eae_encode_str( is_email($options[ 'social_email'] ) );
		$interface_footer_infoblog .='">';
		$interface_footer_infoblog .=  is_email($options[ 'social_email'] ); 
		$interface_footer_infoblog .='</a></li>';
				 
				}if(!empty($options['social_location'])){
		
		$interface_footer_infoblog .='<li class=' .'"address"' .'>';
		$interface_footer_infoblog .=  esc_attr($options[ 'social_location']);
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= '</li>';
				} 
		$interface_footer_infoblog .= '</ul>
		</div><!-- .info -->';
		}
	}
	else if($place == "header" && $set_flags == 1 )
		$interface_footer_infoblog .=  '<div class="info-bar">
		<div class="container clearfix">';
	
	echo $interface_footer_infoblog;
} ?>

Thank you!

Putting the code in the function.php works. My earlier attempt using the same file and folder structure doesn’t work.
Thank you.
