custom code in wordpress widget

Question

I am editing a WordPress site that contains custom HTML in a widget. However, I am unfamiliar with this code as it appears to be code within code and I cannot locate where it originates.

The widget "header fixed right" custom code is shown as:

<span style="display: inline-block;">[icon_text box_type="normal" icon_pack="linea_icons" icon_type="normal" icon_position="left" icon_size="fa-3x" use_custom_icon_size="no" text="[e-mail]" title_tag="h5" separator="no" title="843-899-COOL (2665) <br>" image="276" title_color="#00aeac" text_color="#949494"]</span>

I need to turn the email into a simple sendmail. Any thoughts on where or how I can plug in the correct code for an email link? If I plug in link=abc.com the site will show "Read More" with a link to "abc.com"

Answer 1

link=mailto:[e-mail]

wikipedia/mailto

Answer 2

My apologies. This was an issue with the plug-in "QODE" inside the WP dashboard. I queried their support board and found it to be a limitation of the widget. They supplied a line of js code to fix the issue. In case someone runs into this same issue, this was the support response:

If we are correct, these are Icon With Text shortcodes. It is not possible to add a link to text directly. The only solution is to do it via custom JS - please add the following code into Qode Options -> General -> Custom JS field and check the header:

$j( '.header_fixed_right_area .textwidget > span:first-of-type .q_icon_with_title .icon_text_inner > p' ).wrapInner('<a href="mailto:[e-mail]"></a>');
