<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">E-MAIL LINK LINK TEXT</a>

Hi condonpb!

Please use a plugin such as this one – https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/ to insert PHP in your content

Best regards,

Hi!

I’d suggest creating a custom shortcode for this, like (theme / child theme functions.php):
```
function custom_shortcode_func() {
        global $post;
	ob_start();
	?>
		<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>">E-MAIL LINK LINK TEXT</a>
	<?php

	$output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'custom_shortcode_func');
```
And then use [my_shortcode].

Best regards,

Hey!

Try the following:
```
function custom_shortcode_func() {
        global $post;
	ob_start();
	?>
		<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>">LINK 1</a>
		<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>">LINK 2</a>
	<?php

	$output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'custom_shortcode_func');
```
Best regards,

Josue,

I am not sure you have understood this. Sorry I probably was not clear.

On the website there are some different type of posts some are post of images of sculptures, and some are posts with images of paintings.
So on each post type ie scultpure or paintings there needs to be only one link for each type.
So for the paintings posts we would use one shortcode 1 which would use `?>
<a href=”mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=Enquiry on Paintings<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>”>Enquire about this painting</a>
<?php`
and for the scultpure posts we would use shortcode 2 which would use `?>
<a href=”mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=Enquiry on Scuptures<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>”>Enquire about this sculpture</a>
<?php`

I hope this is clearer.

Many Thanks

Pete

Hi Pete!

In that case you’d just need to duplicate and modify the function code i gave you for the first shortcode (make sure you change the function and shortcode name).

Best regards,
