Email footer

    Hey all.

    Super quickie. I can’t seem to get the email in the footer to open up as an email?

    This is what I’m using in the link to try and get this to work (it’s just opening to a blocked empty page).

    hello@lalki.co.uk (how it appears in the footer)

    http://<a href=”mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk>Email Me</a> (the link code).

    Any ideas where I may be going wrong?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I’d also tried just using: mailto:lalki.co.uk but that doesn’t seem to work either (unless I right click and choose to open in outlook live browser)?

    Hi! The issue is that the link field should only contain the email link itself — not http:// and not full HTML.

    If the field expects a URL, just use:

    mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk

    If you’re adding HTML manually, use:

    <a href=”mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk”>hello@lalki.co.uk</a>

    Also make sure you’re using normal quotes (” “) and not curly quotes

    That should fix it.

    Hi Cas.

    Thanks – I feel like I tried that, but it’s entirely possible I missed something in the frustration of it not working.

    I’ll try again ands report back.
    Might it be an issue with the actual field? There is also a CTA at the top of the page which I also want to open up as either a contact form or open up an email as per this footer link).

    Do you think I could just get this live (without annoucing anything) and see it any remaining issues can be checked on here?
    Feel I’m close to getting this over the line but I’m having to do this after work (which is sat behind computer monitors all day) so not fully invested!

    Thank you!

    Hmm. I’ve tried this again, and it’s not opening up the email (Macbook’s Mail app in this instance).

    I can see the mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk appear in the bottom left corner of the browser window, but it’s not activating anything.

    On the site itself, Inspect is showing this from the link:

    <a href=”mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk” data-type=”mailto” data-id=”mailto:hello@lalki.co.uk”>hello@lalki.co.uk</a>

    Anything standing out?
