Click to Call on Mobile

Hi,
I am trying to create click to call links on my site but it doesn't seem to be working at all. Here is my footer where I have the number that needs to be linked. https://www.goldenhourpdx.com/footer

callto:15032082185
tel:15032082185
tel:+15032082185
tel:+1-503-208-2185Can someone help me?

Hi Marius,
I've tried everything from links in text to manual <a href> html links but it doesn't work, when I click on the number it only opens a new blank tab. Whenever I add tel:55555555 to the text as a link, it changes the format to https://tel:55555555, but the weird thing is it doesnt do that to mailto links, it this a laytheme issue? or because I've my site as https? I'm no idea. Let me know if you know what is wrong, thanks!

Hi Lucien,
did you ever try it on a non LayTheme page?I think this is more of a Wordpress issue than from Laytheme.
You might need to look into extra Plugins:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-clickable-phone-numbers-for-smartphones-in-wordpress/I can imagine that it depends also on the browser.
Keep me up to date :-)
All the best!

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
