## Beschrijving

This email cloaking method:

 * is accessible for people browsing with screen readers (e.g., blind people);
 * degrades gracefully for browsers without JavaScript;
 * works just like a normal, clickable email address for browsers with JavaScript
   enabled; and
 * requires no shortcodes.

Email addresses in the form `email AT address DOT com` are converted to a clickable
version, [email@address.com](https://nl-be.wordpress.org/plugins/humansnotbots/email@address.com?output_format=md),
if JavaScript is enabled. If JavaScript is not enabled (such as for screen readers),
then the email address in the form `email AT address DOT com` is still readable 
to humans.

## Schermafbeeldingen

 * [[
 * Compose posts with email addresses in the form `email AT address DOT com`.
 * [[
 * The post should show a clickable email address.
 * [[
 * If you view the HTML source, the email scraping bots can only see `email AT address
   DOT com`.

## Installatie

Unzip the zip file into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Activate the plugin
through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

  Won’t email scrapers figure out email addresses in the form `email AT address 
DOT com`?

In a test comparing the [effectiveness of different obfuscation methods](http://techblog.tilllate.com/2008/07/20/ten-methods-to-obfuscate-e-mail-addresses-compared/)
in 2008, the obfuscation method “Using ATs and DOTs” received much less spam than“
Replacing @ and . with Entities”. Assuming that the 2008 test is an accurate model,
this plugin should reduce over 99% of spam without compromising accessibility.

“CSS display: none” should _not_ be used, because screen readers cannot read content
styled with `display: none` either. Reversing email addresses and using ROT-13 encryption
are obviously not accessible, either.

  Do email addresses that end with “.ca” or “.info” work?

Yes. Any email address with a TLD (top-level domain) of two, three, or four characters
would work.

  Do email addresses that end with “co.uk” work?

Yes. Email address that end in “co.uk” always worked, but as of version 3.2, you
can use the intuitive form: email AT address DOT co.uk.

  Something is broken.

Remember that the `AT` and `DOT` must be all uppercase (capital letters). You can
also try going to Settings and change the replacement method to “Walk the DOM”, 
which is the new default for version 3.0+.

If you still have problems, you can post your question in the [forum](https://wordpress.org/tags/humansnotbots?forum_id=10#postform)
and make sure your post has the tag `humansnotbots`. Another option is to post your

Why this doesn’t have more reviews, I have no idea. I use this plugin religiously
and it’s perfect — easy for clients to use, protects them from spamming. A must-
have.

After all those years the plugin still works and serves me well under a number of
installations.
