FAQ

Does it work for emails from plugin XYZ?

Our email designer has integrations for these plugins:

Allthough we didn’t optimize WP HTML Mail for these plugins our users use it with many more plugins

  • ACF Advanced Forms
  • Elementor Forms
  • Events Made Easy
  • Learndash Notifications
  • Matador Jobs
  • Memberpress
  • Modern Events Calendar
  • Uncanny Owl Groups
  • ShieldSecurity

Why is my header image not visible?

The most common reasons are:
* Your site is password protected so your email client can’t load the image.
* You are using a local staging site that is not reachable by your mail client.
* The image format is not supported by your mail client. Try a different image (PNG, JPG or GIF).

Can I send my newsletter campaigns with this plugin?

No, this is not a newsletter tool, it just makes your emails beautiful but doesn’t send custom ones.

How can I remove the gap at the header of my Contact Form 7 emails?

Go to your Contact Form 7 email settings and change email type from HTML to text. WP HTML Mail will take care of the HTML.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email header?

There’s a filter to change the header HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_header', function( $header ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Of course you can display HTML code, not just text.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email footer?

There’s a filter to change the footer HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_footer', function( $footer ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Can I add custom CSS code to my WordPress emails?

You can add your own CSS code for desktop and mobile. Just add this example to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it:

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_desktop', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                border-bottom: 2px solid green;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_mobile', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                background:red;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

How to disable the template for some emails?

Find anything all emails have in common. It may be the sender, a word in the subject or something in the email body.
Then add this function to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it. Return TRUE if the template should be used and FALSE if not.

// return true if you want to use a template for current mail
// return false if you want to leave the content of this email unchanged
add_filter( 'haet_mail_use_template', 'customize_template_usage', 10, 2 );
function customize_template_usage( $use_template, $mail ){
    // $mail['to'] ...
    // $mail['subject'] ...
    // $mail['message'] ...
    // $mail['headers'] ...
    // $mail['attachments'] ...
    return true;
}

Work’s out of the box and does its job well. But when you are an ambitious dev, this plugin is not for you. Seems yo can not add your own custom template files or write your own html code in your favorite editor. the preview does not support shortcodes. i added a shortcode and see the result only in the final delivered email. why are there padding options in the header but not in the footer?

I needed support in a situation where there were problems with the formatting of templates. I was answered very quickly and the next step was to provide a new version, that solved the problem immediately. Great service that deserves a lot of recognition – thank you very much!

Chapeau! Tested a lot of email customize plugins. Before, spent days to modify manually. Got WC emails fixed pretty neat with creating tons of code in millions of different files. Even tried to create a plugin myself. WP mails in combination with WC mails were killing me in the end. Yours just do what it says. IΒ΄m genuinely impressed. Even working with wpml out of the box! Smart! Well done.

We use this plugin for our WooCommerce emails and are very happy with it. With the latest update there was an issue with displaying content in the order confirmation. The support was very responsive and figured out a solution fast.
