    Instruction in FAQ reads: If you want to encode a single email address, use the eae_encode_str() function: <?php echo eae_encode_str(‘name@domain.com’); ?>

    when I paste this: <?php echo eae_encode_str(‘name@domain.com’); ?>
    into the page, and put a real email address in place of name@domain.com nothing appears when I publish the page

    am I supposed to delete the apostrophes around name@domain.com or leave them in place?

    what else might I be doing wrong?

    The in the FAQ mentioned snippets are PHP code and don’t work in the WordPress editor.

    All email addresses you enter in the WordPress editor will be encoded automatically, you don’t need to add any shortcodes or snippets.

    Thank you for this response. I understand that it should encode automatically. I’m trying to understand how the encoding of a single e-mail address should be used. If this is not done in the WordPress editor, where is it done?

    In the .php files of your theme or plugins.

    I see, thank you.

    I tried to verify that the plugin is encoding automatically, but when viewing in Firefox, I do not have the option to View Page Source or View Page Info. When I select View Page Source, and then search the page for “@” in Page Source, I do not find the e-mail address. Does this confirm that the plugin has worked?

    I’d guess so. If you want to double check, post the URL here and I’ll have a look.
