Hello,

as said, my email address is clearly readable by spam bots - contact form (includes/contact-form.php line 24).
Shouldn't that be encoded somehow, at list with WP build-in function 'antispambot'
This way I can expect more and more spam messages.

Thanks

Hey,
yes - I think this is not the best solution. I'll report it to Kriesi (important issue). You can try to obfuscate the the chars with: http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/main/flobfuscate.php

Any progress ... at least encrypted with 'antispambot' ?

Thanks

Kriesi didn't report back yet. However did you try to encrypt your email with: http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/main/flobfuscate.php - then take the code from the second text area (email address without link) and paste it in the email option field (Corona > Theme Options > Contact & Social Stuff)?

Hi Tashah,

As far as I know the same implementation of the contact form is still used. You can use something like Contact Form 7 if you don't want to use the built in contact form which is just as easy to set up and use.

Regards,

Devin
