Hello All I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have multiple users for my blog and they are allowed to create posts. I would like to create a mailto: link on the single.php post for that specific post type. I would like the mailto: email to be the author's email of that specific posts so that a viewer could email the author of the post.
I am aware that wordpress has the function:
<?php $user_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email'); ?>
this function stores the data, i would really appreciate it if someone could help me display a mailto: link with this function.
You can simply echo the value where you need it. For example:
<a href="mailto:<?php echo get_the_author_meta('user_email'); ?>">Click here to email author</a>
Or, more readable:
<?php
$user_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email');
echo '<a href="mailto:' . $user_email . '">Click here to email author</a>';
?>
