 * Hi Scott 🙂 !
 * It seems that you’ve tried to implement the spambot WP function in the last release
   of SS (1.8) :). But since that implementation I have problem with each email 
   address in my page…
    The link of email address obfuscation is working fine but
   is always preceded by the url of the website. it gives something like “[http://www.domain.tld/mailto:masked-email@domain.tld&#8221](http://www.domain.tld/mailto:masked-email@domain.tld&#8221);
   and SS, in addition to generating invalid email, is trying to follow the bad 
   link generating a 404 error in its generation log :).
 * I hope you’ll resolve quickly that issue 😉 !
 * Amicably,
 * Pierre.

 * Hi Pierre,
 * I’ll take a look. I actually hadn’t tried to implement the spambot function, 
   so if there’s an issue it’s because of something else.
 * Best,
    Scott

 * Hi Scott 🙂 !
 * Oups… Don’t lose your time with this one and forgive me :$… I’ had a look on 
   my code and as I used an “old” child theme, I still call the spambot function
   in it, disturbing SS…
 * Resolved.
 * Thanks for your quick support Scott 🙂 !
