What does Filosofo Hide Email Addresses do?
Filosofo Hide Email Addresses is a WordPress plugin that disguises email addresses within your posts and pages from spambots. The email addresses look the same to visitors using JavaScript, but they are hidden from spambots.
The plugin looks for email addresses of two forms:
- Standing alone, surrounded by whitespace: example (located at) example (dot) com
- Within a link, as “mailto”:
(Your Name) example (located at) example (dot) com
Where do I download it?

Fun plugin, only partially works…
So I guess if you are going to use text, CLICK HERE or EMAIL and enclose that in the mailto: tag, you are ok. Or if you are just going to publish an email address, (email@email.com) email (located at) email (dot) com it will work ok. But not both.

Nicely done. I will be adding this shortly. Thanks.
so when i view source it will still be the the usual mailto tags? how do i know the plugin is working?
So when users with JS disabled try to view it, will they see it?
Well done,
but unfortunately it doesn’t work with other country domains, I mean, here in Brazil we have example@example.com.br that isn’t read by the plugin…
I tried this plugIn and I checked my side with an Email-Spider from http://www.freeware-archiv.de/shareware/EmailSpider-Homepage.htm … and ALL eMails could be extract … so it’s still not working

I did a simple test with this plugin and it doesn’t seem to work in WP 2.7.
The email I posted is in plan sight and would definately be found by a spambot.
Replacing characters of the email with the unicode equivalent is a different way that might deter spambots. How hard would it be to create a plugin that does that or adding it to this one?
Any ideas why it wouldn’t work on 2.7?
There are plugins that do that; I think one is called “Email Immunizer.” I’m pretty sure though that spambots are not fooled by that at all.
This plugin could use some updating, as you can see I haven’t made any changes for over two years. Is the email you tried the one you used for leaving a comment?

Looks like using wp_head is problematic.
