Title: Email link Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Email link * [confused](https://wordpress.org/support/users/confused/) * (@confused) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/) * Hi, can someone tell me how to create a link to my email address in the body of a text.

So you could just use the standard: ` mail < /a> \` Plus, it will usually automatically convert URLs and email addresses to live links with the address itself as the anchor text. So if you just type in your email address in the post or page it should convert into a live link. * So, you could just do: [funky@bunch.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/funky@bunch.com?output_format=md) * If you mean how do you create a link to your email address that uses javascript to avoid having the address get picked up by spambots, there’s a plugin for that with the word “transpose” in the name, something like “transpose-email.” * Thread Starter [confused](https://wordpress.org/support/users/confused/) * (@confused) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/#post-253087) * That code worked. Thanks. But I think I must have disabled my html. Where would I check this? * [melodiefabrieknl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melodiefabrieknl/) * (@melodiefabrieknl) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/#post-253119) * but you’ll be spammed. I would never put email accounts like that in a page. you can also scrabble it a bit with javascript, but still not perfect. * [eveums](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eveums/) * (@eveums) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/#post-253122) * If you’re afraid of automated spam, you might try something like addressATyahooDOTcom. Most humans will know to replace the @ and . * Or you could try the Contact Form plugin. It’s great and easy to use. * [melodiefabrieknl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melodiefabrieknl/) * (@melodiefabrieknl) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/#post-253129) * or create a javascript function like: * function myEmail(){ var mynl = “nl” ; var myname = “yournamebeforethe@” ; var mydomain = “yourdomain” ; var myappestaartje = “@” ; var myhrefbegin = “” + myname + myappestaartje + mydomain + “.” + mynl + myhrefeinde ) ; * } * Anonymous User 28033 * (@anonymized-28033) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-link-2/#post-253133) * Sorry for the question in the question, but it safe to use a similar way as in this website?
