Hi there,

Try "mailto:youremail@email.com"

It's just a hyperlink to an email addy? Isn't that pretty routine? Typically would that not simply open the user's default email client? The Donate Button section of the THEME OPTIONS seems to lead me to believe that is how it works. It even gives us the option to have the link open in a new window.

When I type in a Link URL, I notice it puts the domain name first tho...

ie: "www.autoally.ca/youremail@email.com"

Is there a way to change it so that the button just becomes a direct link to an email addy?

Hi there,

Are you referring to the donate button? If so, the error you're seeing is due to the actual site/service you're linking to, not the theme or the button feature.

Unfortunately that isn't something I can troubleshoot as it doesn't involve the theme or my code.

Thanks!

Is it possible for me to link this button to an external email addy? I tried but it said:

NOT FOUND
The requested URL /(email addy) was not found on this server.
