<p>With Email No Bot humans will see the emails that you write using the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode</a> [hide_email email=”example@mail.com”], but robots will not.</p>
<p>The user will not be able to copy the email in the clipboard. If you think this is a problem, this plugin is not for you.</p>
<p>Looking at the screen you can see the email, but if you inspect elements, instead of the email you will see something strange, and not predictable. That’s what a bot will also see.</p>
<p>The output is something very random for the bot, and even if the code of this plugin is open source, no bot will be able to decrypt the email.</p>
<p>There are amazing plugins for contact forms, but sometimes what you really need is just an email that people can use to contact you.<br />
Contact forms are so popular because a bot will not be able to get your email, but if you have a way to prevent bots from getting your email, you can simply add it to your page without the need of a contact form. Your page will be lighter and simple.</p>
<p>Email No Bot has no settings page, it doesn’t write anything in the database, and it doesn’t load any asset on frontend, it just provides a shortcode, that’s it.</p>
<h3>How to encrypt an email with Email No Bot</h3>
<p>To encrypt an email use the shortcode <strong>[hide_email email=”example@mail.com”]</strong>.<br />
Of course, replace example@mail.com with the email that you want to display.<br />
You can see an example and see how it works on the blog post <a href="https://josemortellaro.com/prevent-bots-from-getting-emails-from-your-website/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prevent bots from getting emais from your website</a>.</p>

Email No Bot – Prevent bots from detecting emails

I'm the author of this plugin, but I'm also a user, and why should I not give 5 stars only because I'm the author. I use it to hide emails from robots and never had problems with spam. It works for me, the "user" part of me will give it 5 stars :)

Review from the author. I love it.

Humans will see the email address on your page, but robots will not.

<p>After successful activation every time you add #hide-this-link to a link, the plugin will replace it with an hidden link.</p>
<p>For example, for an URL as https://sample-link.com you should write https://sample-link.com#hide-this-link. Then you will still be able to click on the link, but robots will not see it because Hide Link will replace the link tag with a span and make it clickable with a line of JavaScript.</p>
<p>With the <a href="https://shop.josemortellaro.com/downloads/hide-link-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">PRO version</a> the links can be hidden also by CSS class, and you have also the options to hide all the links of the navigation.</p>


Hide Link | Really hide links to robots


I'm the author. This plugin became invisible after it received a bad review.The bad review was given because of a fixed issue, so I want people to see the plugin again in the search results. It works and can be useful to many users.
