Email author not functional

Hi all,
When clicking on the ’email author’ image, I noticed that it gives a 404. Checking out the link, it actually tries to call: http://DOMAIN.COM/author/gijs/NAME@DOMAIN.COM, rather than simply mailto:NAME@DOMAIN.COM

I rechecked, but in the WP profile it simply states the emailaddress without any funny business.

Is this a bug, or is it me being blond. And I am blond, so that happens a lot.

Many thanks!
Gijs

Hi,

Try to add the full url http://NAME@DOMAIN.COM and see hopw it goes. Also provide a link so I can check this.

Thanks!

Hi Alin,

When trying to edit the email address in the WordPress admin under ‘Users’, WordPress checks whether it is a valid email address. http://NAME@DOMAIN.COM therefore does not work…

Is it possible to send you the link in a PM?, so you can see the frontend for yourself? It is a dev site and therefore behind a password.
Many thanks,
Gijs

Hi Alin,

Many thanks for solving this!
For others: it was a bug that can be solved as follows:

To fix this you have to add the following code – http://screencast.com/t/CrXP3Oe8sJK2

if ($icon_id == ‘mail-1’){
$url = ‘mailto:’ . $url;
}

I’ve added this on our list, we will fix it in one of the next updates.

Thank you, Emil G.
