WP Email Template Pro: Branding for wp_mail() Messages

Style WordPress messages and configure delivery

WP Email Template Pro and WP Email Template Premium are paid editions of WP Email Template. They apply a responsive HTML design to WordPress email and messages from supported plugins when those messages pass through wp_mail(). Use the template for customer messages, administrative notifications, shop email, form submissions, security alerts, and other eligible mail. It is optimized for display in Apple iOS devices, Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, Android devices, Windows Live Desktop, and Mozilla Thunderbird.

Set the layout and branding

In the administration settings, enable or disable the template, adjust its width from the 600px default, select a background colour, and toggle a background pattern. You can upload and position a header picture, then set its container background, border, and padding. Add custom footer content with the WordPress editor, and add social links in a follow-us section. The Pro version includes additional dynamic style settings.

You can turn off the visual template while keeping the plugin for sender configuration.

Choose a sending method

Available provider settings include SMTP through your server, Gmail SMTP, Mandrill through API or SMTP, and SparkPost through HTTP API or SMTP API. Configure the preferred method for WordPress and extension-generated email; the selected provider handles delivery.

Apply the template to supported plugin email

Supported add-ons include Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, Formidable Forms, WooCommerce, WP e-Commerce, BackupBuddy, and Wordfence. WooCommerce email is ignored by default, with an option to include it for consistent store branding. WP e-Commerce customer and administrator email is supported.

The template applies to messages sent through wp_mail(). A plugin that applies its own HTML email template may conflict with it, and messages sent through the php() function are not covered.

Install and configure

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Open the WP Email menu in the WordPress administration dashboard.
3. Open the Template submenu and add your styling.
4. Open the Send WP Mail submenu and configure your preferred email sending provider.
