    (when viewing the link click the ‘team leaders’ button to view the table in question.

    Using the free version – I am trying to setup a mailto link for the E-Mail Address column.

    When I created a link I did mailto:email@email.com and made the text email@email.com

    However when viewing this on the page, when you click on the email link it just takes you to the base domain site (email.com).

    Then I just tried removing the link and just putting in the email text…thinking it would convert it into a mailto: link automatically but it didn’t.

    And then I tried to use the pipe format so I typed in the cell ’email@email.com||email@email.com’ and it just showed that text as is on the table.

    I feel like I’ve done everything here: https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/column-features/e-mail-link-columns/

    Please advise.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi inswebdev,

    Sorry for inconvenience,
    Yes that is right. Link that you provide from our docs are for data tables, not simple table because simple table have own logic.

    At the moment you can insert email links over HTML, not over link editor(we need to implement logic for emails as well)

    So to create email links in simple tables please use this HTML

    <a href="mailito:email@email.com">email@email.com</a>

    Thank you for reporting this.

    We appreciate that.

    Best regards.
