    It seems that this issue has returned? My "mailto:" link is no longer working on https://patternsofmigration.com/online-exhibition/ It's the styled button link towards the bottom of the page... I also tried it unstyled, with the same problem

                  does the link in the code look like this?

                  <a href="mailto:myemail@gmail.com">hello</a>

                  specifically the href part?
                  if yes, the code is correct. maybe there is no app configured to open the mailto link

                  https://support.apple.com/en-us/102362#:~:text=From the Mail menu in,reader” pop-up menu.

                    when creating a mailto link with lay theme i see the code is correct. make sure to also use the latest lay version and then create a link

                        can you remove: target="_blank" please and remove data-id="0" too please

                        usually when you enter just a mailto: link it looks like:

                                So you did it right, and when I click this link, my email program opens.

                                Do you think maybe the issue is with your browser? Can you try a different browser, please?

                                  I'm talking about this link in the footer here:

                                  Congratulations on the website. It looks really good.

                                    Hello Armin, sorry for the late reply. I believe the problem is because I don't use an email program on my Mac, just Gmail via web. In fact, it works perfectly on mobile devices.

                                    Thank you for appreciating my work! 🥰

                                    I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

                                    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
