202615 releases

  1. Email Encoder 2.5.5Latest

    • Fix: In Elementor’s Icon List (and similar page-builder layouts) a protected email could drop onto a second line below its icon — the icon and text are now left exactly where the builder put them
    • Fix: With “Convert plain emails to images” enabled, protected phone links showed a broken image instead of the number
    • Fix: Phone numbers inside page-builder markup (for example an Elementor Icon List or Icon Box) are now fully hidden from bots, including the accessibility label, when “tel” is set in Protect custom href attributes

  2. Email Encoder 2.5.4

    • Fix: The admin-only “encoded successfully” padlock icon kept showing next to protected emails even with the Security Check setting turned off (since 2.5.0)
    • Fix: Icon-only phone links (for example the phone icon in a Team or social block) lost their icon when “tel” was added to Protect custom href attributes — the icon is now kept and the phone number is still encoded

  3. Email Encoder 2.5.3

    • Fix: Prevented harmless “DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Tag … invalid” PHP warnings (visible in Query Monitor and debug logs) on pages containing inline SVG, for example sites built with Elementor or HivePress

  4. Email Encoder 2.5.2

    • Fix: On iPhone/iPad, an email link set to open in a new tab (or opened via “Open Link in New Tab”) could show a Safari “cannot run the script” error — email links are now real links that open the mail app cleanly in every case

  5. Email Encoder 2.5.1

    • Fix: On large pages, a plain email inside another plugin’s inline script data (for example the Helpie FAQ list) could be encoded there and break that script, spilling raw content into the space below the footer — inline scripts are now reliably skipped

  6. Email Encoder 2.5.0

    • Feature: Redesigned settings page — branded header with logo and version, modern layout, friendlier form controls
    • Feature: Reorganised settings into clearer tabs, including a dedicated Exclusions tab and a tidied-up Tools tab housing the Manual Email Encoder
    • Feature: Active tab now persists in the URL so refreshes and shared links land in the right place
    • Feature: Save confirmations now appear as a centered toast instead of a top-of-page banner
    • Feature: Header action buttons for Email Protection Checker, Documentation, Report a Problem, Copy Support Info, and Leave a Review, each with hover tooltips
    • Feature: Help content moved inline into a dedicated Help tab
    • Fix: Toggling the “Show this page in the main menu item” setting no longer triggers a PHP deprecation notice from WordPress core
    • Fix: Unchecked checkboxes now persist their off state correctly
    • Fix: Insufficient-permissions message is now translatable
    • Fix: Several minor accessibility, focus-state, and translation polish items across the admin UI

  7. Email Encoder 2.4.8

    • Fix: Emails inside <select> dropdown options now display correctly in Firefox (and consistently across all browsers)
    • Fix: Rich-text and styled markup inside mailto links (Divi 4 Text modules, Divi 5 Link blocks, etc.) is now preserved instead of being replaced with the encoded email
    • Fix: Emails with mailto links now render correctly in image-encoding mode when used with page builders such as WPForms and Elementor
    • Fix: Encoded emails using “best method (JavaScript disabled)” no longer show stray timestamp characters when the plugin’s stylesheet is deferred or stripped by caching/builder layers

  8. Email Encoder 2.4.7

    • Security: Escaped data-enc-email attribute output to close XSS bypass reported by WPScan (CVE-2026-2840 follow-up)

  9. Email Encoder 2.4.6

    • Fix: Resolved _load_textdomain_just_in_time warning on WordPress 6.7+
    • Feature: Added “Copy Support Info” button to admin sidebar for easier support diagnostics
    • Tweak: Improved settings loading performance with two-phase initialization

  10. Email Encoder 2.4.5

    • Security: Fixed stored XSS vulnerability in eeb_mailto shortcode (CVE-2026-2840)
    • Security: Replaced unsafe JavaScript execution with innerHTML in escape encoding method
    • Security: Added output escaping for protection text in noscript blocks
    • Security: Added attribute escaping in link construction methods
    • Security: Improved input sanitization in template functions
    • Fix: Fixed PHP 8.4 deprecation warning for implicit nullable parameter
    • Fix: Fixed license mismatch between plugin header and readme
    • Tweak: Resolved all WordPress Plugin Check issues
    • Tweak: Replaced deprecated PHP functions with WordPress equivalents
