I’m looking for a way to send all WordPress emails using a custom WooCommerce template so all emails will look the same.
The path to the template would be:
woocommerce/emails/my-custom-woocommerce-template.php
Does it have to all be templatized in a single file? If not, a combination of these entry points can probably get you the standardization you're looking for:
email-header.php lets you customize the start of the email including the header image (if you need to do more than change its URL). It opens the layout tags for the rest of the email content
email-footer.php lets you customize the footer, and closes the layout tags started in the header.
email-styles.php or the woocommerce_email_styles filter let you customize the CSS (see some gotchas in my article here).
Various actions/filters are scattered throughout the emails for customizing individual parts.
You can use the below function. It is working
function myplugin_woocommerce_locate_template( $template, $template_name, $template_path ) {
global $woocommerce;
// List of all templates that should be replaced with custom template
$woo_templates = array(
'emails/admin-new-order.php',
'emails/admin-failed-order.php',
'emails/admin-cancelled-order.php',
'emails/customer-completed-order.php',
'emails/customer-new-account.php',
'emails/customer-note.php',
'emails/customer-on-hold-order.php',
'emails/customer-processing-order.php',
'emails/customer-refunded-order.php',
'emails/customer-reset-password.php',
);
//Check whether template is in replacable template array
if( in_array( $template_name, $woo_templates ) ){
// Set your custom template path
$template = your_template_path.'emails/my-custom-woocommerce-template';
}
// Return what we found
return $template;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_locate_template', 'myplugin_woocommerce_locate_template', 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'your_wp_mail_action' ); // $args = compact( 'to', 'subject', 'message', 'headers', 'attachments' )
function your_wp_mail_action( $args ) {
global $your_prefix_your_email_args; // the args you could use in my-custom-woocommerce-template file
$your_prefix_your_email_args = $args;
ob_clean();
get_template_part( 'woocommerce/emails/my-custom-woocommerce-template' );
$args['message'] = ob_get_clean();
// ... your logic
return $args;
}
To view and update email settings, log into your website dashboard. In the left-hand menu, click on WooCommerce → Settings.
There, you’ll find several options tabs at the top. Click Emails to view the following templates
you can custom all as you want

I'm trying to remove these areas from one of my custom taxonomies.
I've built them using the two plugins: Custom Post Types UI (to add them) and Advanced Custom Fields (to add fields to the taxonomy).
I can't see anything in the plugin settings to remove these things, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.
I'm assuming I might need to add a function to the functions.php file. I've seen that hiding things using jQuery is a possibility, but I hear that this might show it initially on load and then hide it, so id like to learn how to doit properly.
I managed to get there with the link above and help from another website.
This function removed the two instances of the 'description' box:
function hide_description_row() {
echo "<style> .term-description-wrap { display:none; } </style>";
}
add_action( "measure_sectors_edit_form", 'hide_description_row');
add_action( "measure_sectors_add_form", 'hide_description_row');
and this one removed the column from the right hand side:
add_filter('manage_edit-measure_sectors_columns', function ( $columns ) {
if( isset( $columns['description'] ) )
unset( $columns['description'] );
return $columns;
});
To use with other taxonomies, just replace 'measure_sectors' with your own taxonomy slug
I am using Wordpress 4.3.1 and I noticed that it used oEmbed to automatically embed my tracks from soundcloud.
This is awesome! Except, I have no control over how the widget is displayed.
First of all I would like to display the "Classic Embed" without the artwork.
Secondly I want the widget to be wider.
How can I achieve this without editing the shortcode for each post in my wordpress page?
You can add a filter to change the way the oEmbed code is displayed. Here is something to get you started:
// this function is called on all urls surrounded by the WordPress embed shortcode.
// i.e.: [embed]https://soundcloud.com/gratefuldead/grateful-dead-box-of-rain[/embed]
function my_embed_options( $code ) {
// look for SoundCloud link:
if( strpos( $code, 'soundcloud.com') !== false ) {
$code = str_replace( 'show_artwork=true', 'show_artwork=false', $code );
}
return $code;
}
add_filter( 'embed_oembed_html', 'my_embed_options' );
You can find full parameter list for the SoundCloud player here.
I have an external page that reads a RSS feed for a tag. I can't change anything on the external page, so the challenge is to change the RSS feed on my side to match the requirements.
On the external page the 3 latest posts for a tag are shown, and at the end of the section (note: not after each post but after all 3 posts) there is a "View all" link. This link receives its value from the element in the feed, which is by default set to my blog homepage, e.g. http://myblog.com). For this specific tag the link should be http://myblog.com/tag/myspecialtag.
The requirement is that the "View all" link links to the tag page instead of the homepage.
My idea was to add a condition to the element to change the URL for this specific category. I tried to change the feed template as recommended here: Customizing feeds, but for some reason it doesn't change the template at all. The code I tried is the following:
remove_all_actions( 'do_feed_rss2' );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'change_feed_rss2', 10, 1 );
function change_feed_rss2( $for_comments ) {
$rss_template = get_template_directory() . '/feeds/feed-custom_rss2.php';
if( file_exists( $rss_template ) )
load_template( $rss_template );
else
do_feed_rss2( $for_comments ); // Call default function
}
Of course I created the custom feed template and stored it in the feeds directory in my theme.
As this didn't work I tried looking into filters/hooks but I couldn't find anything helpful regarding my issue. Any ideas on how to best solve this issue?
I came up with the following solution:
I created a new custom page template custom_rss-feed.php and copied the code from wp-includes/feed-rss.php into it. I assigned this template to a new page. Additionally I added a filter to get_bloginfo_rss like the following:
function alter_bloginfo_rss($value, $key) {
if ( $key === "url" &&
is_page_template("custom_rss-feed.php")
) {
return $value . "/my/custom/url";
}
return $value;
}
add_filter("get_bloginfo_rss", "alter_bloginfo_rss", 10, 2);
I'm trying to do a plugin that will change the behavior of a theme.
In the theme file I have a get_template_part('libs/templates/user_menu');
I want to make my plugin to "force" the get_template_part return another slug file (a path to a file in plugin folder).
So far this is my code inside the plugin:
function wpse21352_template_part_cb( $slug )
{
if(slug == 'user_menu') {
return WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/'.$slug;
} else {
return $slug;
}
}
do_action( "get_template_part_user_menu", 'user_menu' );
add_action( 'wpse21352_template_part_cb', 'get_template_part_user_menu', 10, 1 );
First of all, get_template_part does not return anything. It loads a file from your theme based on the parameters you pass to it. The function does not support filtering, which means you can not actually overwrite what is outputted by get_template_part.
The only thing the action get_template_part_[slug] allows you to do is output something before the theme file is loaded. For example, using
function myplugin_before_login( $slug, $name ) {
echo 'Example';
}
add_action( 'get_template_part_login', 'myplugin_before_login', 10, 2 );
would output "Example" before the loading the theme file when calling get_template_part( 'login' );.
Actions and filters
In general, however, I believe you might misunderstand how actions and filters work. The WordPress Codex offers extensive information on their use and usage.
I am currently creating a widget to display the registration form on a WordPress website that uses WooCommerce. For now, I only have 3 basic fields which are email, password, repeat password. I'm looking forward to add more WooCommerce fields, but want to solve that problem before jumping to the next step.
I'm having some problems with the messages output (wrong password, account already exists, etc).
I searched on the web and there was no shortcode already built for WooCommerce registration, beside their registration page. So I went ahead and created a shortcode, with a template part.
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
This is a snippet I use to get the template part inside a variable, since the default function would "echo" the content instead of "returning" it.
function load_template_part($template_name, $part_name=null) {
ob_start();
get_template_part($template_name, $part_name);
$var = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $var;
}
So, the problem is, when I call woocommerce_show_messages or $woocommerce->show_messages(); from my template part, nothing is showing, or if it is, it shows at the top of the page.
I did try to put the calls inside my shortcode function:
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$woocommerce->show_messages();
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
Doing so, the message output inside the <head> tag, which is not what I want.
I tried to do the same trick with ob_start(), ob_get_contents() and ob_clean() but nothing would show. The variable would be empty.
I also did try to hook the woocommerce_show_messages to an action as saw in the core:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_show_messages', 10 );
For something like:
add_action( 'before_registration_form', 'woocommerce_show_messages');
And I added this in my template-part:
<?php do_action('before_registration_form'); ?>
But I still can't manage to get the error messages show inside the box. It would always be inserted in the <head>
I will share final solution when everything is done.
Thanks for your time,
Julien
I finally got this working by hooking a custom function to an action which is called in my header.php
I guess hooking functions inside template part does not work as intended.
In header.php, I got this:
do_action('theme_after_header');
And here's the hooked function. Works perfectly.
function theme_show_messages(){
woocommerce_show_messages();
}
add_action('theme_after_header', 'theme_show_messages');
However, I will look into 'unhooking' the original show message function since it might show twice. Need to test some more ;)
You can also just use the [woocommerce_messages] shortcode in your template where you want it displayed
Replying to a bit of an old question, but you can also try the following:
$message = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_message', '' );
if ( ! empty( $message ) ) {
wc_add_notice( $message );
}
