    Was just wondering how to make phone numbers clickable? So if someone was to see '+44 (0) 1234 567891' and they clicked on it:
    – On mobile, it would make the call
    – On desktop, it would attempt to call the number via facetime

    The first example site on the Laytheme homepage has this functionality: https://www.studiogameiro.com/about/

    Thank you!

      On Studio Gameiro they used the following code:
      <a href="tel:+447848998472">+44 784 899 847 2</a>

      So it’s basically the same as you would do it with e-mails.
      You can read up on that over here or use Google.

        Dear @edgrbnz
        correct! Sometimes mobile browsers will display those numbers in a weird way… Just to keep in mind.

        Best!

            Hei together,
            I just have a more practical follow up question:
            When I am editing text field on a page or a project with the text editor and I try to link a phone number with 'tel:01234567', the editor changes the target link to 'html://tel:01234567', which doesn't work apparently.
            Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestion?

            Best,
            Sebastian

              Ahh, I just solved this. So one shouldn't insert the phone number as a link, as links are completed with 'http://', but inserting the html code directly into the editor works as expected.

              Sebastian

                I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
                💿 Email me here: 💿

                Before you post:
                1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
                2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
                3. Disable all Plugins
                4. 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:
                1. Post a link to where the problem is
                2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
                3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
