The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
You can test this in three different ways.
The easiest (and most efficient) way is to use our website checker, which looks over your website and detects unprotected emails. It is completely free and you can find it here on our website.
The second possibility is to enable the plugin option (in the admin panel) called “Security Check”.
All email addresses are protected automatically by default, so it is not necessary to configure anything else.
In case you wish to customize it, we also offer some neatsettings, shortcodes and template functions. Please check the settings page within your WordPress website or our documentation
The visitors will see everything as normal, but the source behind it will now be encoded.
Just use the following shortcode within your posts:
[eeb_protect_content]35-01235-468113[/eeb_protect_content]
For other parts of your site you can use the template function eeb_protect_content().
First: Don’t panic!
Simply create a support request within the support forum and we will come back to you as soon as possible with help.
