I am creating a custom template and have a button to enquire about a select item. E.g. a customer views a custom post type, in this case a single product. There is a button on each product page for an email enquiry. I would like the button to open up an email using a mailto: link.

I would like to insert a custom field within the subject line of the email. Is it possible to insert custom field this way, or is there an alternative to make this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Actually yes it is possible to do. Simply just using the types shortcode to display the email on the frontend like below should generate the correct output.

[types field="my-email"][/types]

Should give

<a href="mailto:my-email@my-domain.com" title="my-email@my-domain.com">my-email@my-domain.com</a>

Can you let me see a screenshot of how you are adding your custom field to the frontend.

Thanks,
Shane
