(e.g. open mail client).

Sure, edit your header.php and find this bit:
<?php echo $header_email;?>

Replace it with:

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $header_email;?>"><?php echo $header_email;?></a>

That should do it! :)

Nice one.

Anyway of doing it for the contact info widget?

and replace this:

<?php echo antispambot($instance['email']); ?>

with this:

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $instance['email'];?>"><?php echo antispambot($instance['email']); ?></a>

Glad to hear it worked out, pls rate the theme if you are happy with it and our support! :)

I used this discussion and edited my header code to get the email link at top of page to be dynamic. But this change did not work for the contact page contact info side bar. How do I get that to change? Where did I go wrong?

thanks

Will it disappear if theme is updated in future?

thx

Ya, add the edited version in your child theme. :)

I couldn’t make it work in the child theme box_widgets.php file so I edited the main theme php file…

I don’t know if those changes will get wiped on update – but they are easy enough to fix…
