Description
The Connections Business Directory Extension ROT13 Email Encryption is a WordPress plugin built to protect personal email addresses displayed in your Connections directory. It helps stop spam-harvesting bots from collecting raw contact data by encoding emails with ROT13 before they appear on the site. This reduces unwanted outreach while keeping directory listings usable for real visitors who need to contact businesses or individuals.

The extension integrates with your existing Connections database so setup can be quick and seamless.
