Click to Call on Mobile

[lucienng]

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

I've tried adding links such as

callto:15032082185
tel:15032082185
tel:+15032082185
tel:+1-503-208-2185

Can 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!
