How to hide email address from spam bots in Oxygen?

WordPress has an excellent native anti-spam function that converts email addresses characters to HTML entities to block spam bots - antispambot() (read more about this function). We can easily apply this function in the Oxygen editor and the email address will be protected when displayed on the frontend!

Step 1

Instead of the email address, paste this shortcode into your text element:

[oxygen data='phpfunction' function='antispambot' arguments='john.doe@mysite.com']

Step 2

In the link settings, insert a shortcode of this type:

mailto:[oxygen data='phpfunction' function='antispambot' arguments='john.doe@mysite.com']

For example:

If you did everything correctly, then in the source code of the page the email address will now look like this:
