    UPDATE: I turned off plugins one at a time and found that Yoast’s Google Analytics plugin is the culprit. I reproduced the bug on a clean install of wordpress and enfold as well. Due to the fact that many people are using this plugin, can a solution be found to correct this? Note that this bug ONLY happens if you use a mailto link for the title link field: a link to a webpage is fine

    ________________________

    I am getting a strange effect when I try to add links in an iconbox, the parsing goes strange.

    I have this (note I replaced some of the <> with [] so that the code displays without linking):

    [av_one_third]

    [av_icon_box icon='59' position='top' title='Need Support?' link='manually,mailto:support@MYSITE.com' linktarget='no']

    Please visit our [a href="http://MYSITE.com/support/"]FAQ[/a] if you have not already done so. Else, please contact us at [a href="mailto:support@MYSITE.com"]support@MYSITE.com[/a] or 1.800.555.8697.

    [/av_icon_box]

    [/av_one_third]

    and on the website, the code looks like this:

    <div class="iconbox_icon heading-color avia-font-entypo-fontello"></div>

    <h3 class="iconbox_content_title">

    [a "="" support="" MYSITE.com="" http:="" href="mailto:support@MYSITE.com' title='Need Support?' ]Need Support?[/a]</h3><p>Please visit our [a href="]FAQ[/a]

    if you have not already done so. Else, please contact us at

    [a href="mailto:support@MYSITE.com"]support@MYSITE.com[/a]

    or 1.800.555.8697.

    <p></p>

    </h3>

    </div>

    </div>

    `Note the

    [a “=”” support=”” MYSITE.com=”” http:=”” href=”mailto:support@MYSITE.com’ title=’Need Support?’ ]Need Support?[/a]

    is really weird.

    Hi unitedwc,

    I’ll tag the topic for Kriesi to take a look at as its ultimately up to him to add in support for other third party plugins.

    Regards,

    Hey!

    just tested it and it seems the plugin fetches and converts mailto links, then adds some javascript to it for tracking events. To be honest I have no idea if this is a theme issue or a plugin issue. I cant really work around the plugin code since it hooks into the output of the shortcode and I dont know enough of the replacing function to suggest any modifications. sorry for that :/

    I think currently the only choice is contact the plugin author and ask for any guidance…

    No worries, thanks for taking a look at it. Meanwhile, I’ll just use another plugin for analytics for now or just get rid of the mailto.

    I’ll message Yoast about this bug.
