Allows people to recommend/send your WordPress blog's post/page to a friend.
General Usage
- Under E-Mail Settings, modify the setting Method Used To Send E-Mail accordingly. If the method is wrong, no email will get sent.
- You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)
- Open
wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
(You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also)
- Find:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
- Simply add this code inside the loop where you want the email link to display:
if(function_exists('email_link')) { email_link(); }
If you DO NOT want the email link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just use the shortcode by typing [email_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the email link into that post/page only.

if(function_exists('email_link'))
email_link( 'E-Mail Text Link for Post', 'E-Mail Text Link for Page');

to return the link rather than echo it by setting the third parameter to false:
if(function_exists('email_link')) {

} else {
$email_link '';
}
