WP function “antispambot” not working with plugin

After using the plugin wp-Typography the WordPress function “antispambot” (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/antispambot) no longer works.

The email addresses are no longer encoded in the source code.

I’m using the antispambot function as described in the example of the reference link.

I assume you are referring to the shortcode example? Please add class="noTypo" to the <a> tag printed by the shortcode.

Yes, the shortcode [email] example.

This doesn’t help. I’ve also tried to add the “a” element to the ignore list at the settings of your plugin. This also didn’t help.

Sorry, I got sidetracked when writing that suggestion. The problem is that all those nicely encoded entities get decoded by wp-Typography’s HTML parser.

The solution would have to be a separate content filter (instead of a shortcode) that run’s after wp-Typography (i.e. with a higher filter priority). Getting that right will be a little tricky, though. Please have a look at dedicated plugins like Email Address Encoder (you need to set a high enough priority though, either through a constant or filter hook).

I see, thank you!

Could it be a solution if I add the code
```
function wpcodex_hide_email_shortcode( $atts , $content = null ) {
	if ( ! is_email( $content ) ) {
		return;
	}

	return '<a href="mailto:' . antispambot( $content ) . '">' . antispambot( $content ) . '</a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'email', 'wpcodex_hide_email_shortcode' );
```
into a file of your plugin so that it runs after the plugin’s parser?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-address-encoder/ also doesn’t help.

@adamdell, no, any shortcode will not work. Email Address Encoder does work, but as I wrote, you have to set its filter priority to > 9999 or lower wp-Typography’s filter priority with the typo_filter_priority hook.

Thank you! Now it works with Email Address Encoder and priority set to 10000. Before I only tried 8000 that was too low.

I’m glad the issue could be resolved. If you can find the time to leave a review, that would be great 🙂
