Common questions about Email Template Designer - WP HTML Mail

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).

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

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.

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.

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>'; });

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; });

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; } another example
