I am trying to create a mailto link using the email field type. See code below.

<p><button aria-label="Email Community Agent" class="email-agent-button">Email Agent</button></p>

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link.

Look at "Email Agent Button" on left column.

I expected to see: email window with agent name or email in the "To" field.

Instead, I got: a blank field.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Is this page being rendered by a view at all ?

The problem here is that WordPress has removed the use of shortcodes as content for html tags since 2015.

So unless this page is being rendered by a view content template then this wont work.

Thanks,

This page is not a view. Isn't there a conflict between Toolset views and Divi? Something about bootstrap?

Hi Craig,

A conflict with Divi and Bootstrap has nothing to do with this particular issue. Its just that wordpress doesn't allow shortcodes to be used like this .
Email Agent

Also as far as i'm aware there isn't a conflict between the view's content template and divi. So if you created an empty content template and assigned this page to that content template.

Then add this to your content template [wpv-post-body] then your link should render with the email.

Thanks,
Shane
