Apply a template to WordPress email

WP Email Template Pro and WP Email Template Premium are paid editions of WP Email Template. They apply a responsive HTML design to WordPress emails and supported add-on messages sent through wp_mail(). You can use the template for customer messages, administrative notifications, store emails, form submissions, security alerts, and other eligible mail.

The template is described for show in Apple iOS, Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, Android, Windows Live Desktop, and Mozilla Thunderbird.

Set the layout and branding

In the administration settings, enable or disable the template, change its width from the 600px default, choose 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 footer content through the WordPress editor and social links through the follow-us section. The Pro version includes additional dynamic style options.

When the template is off, sender configuration remains available without adding the HTML wrapper to each message.

Configure email sending

Available provider settings listed for the extension include SMTP through your server, Gmail SMTP, Mandrill through API or SMTP, and SparkPost through HTTP API or SMTP API. Choose a sending method for WordPress and plugin-generated mail; the selected provider handles delivery.

Plugin coverage and limits

Supported plugin email output includes Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, Formidable Forms, WooCommerce, WP e-Commerce, BackupBuddy, and Wordfence. WooCommerce emails can be ignored by default or included in the template. WP e-Commerce emails to clients and administrators are supported.

A plugin that applies its own HTML email template may conflict with this template. Messages sent through the php() function are outside its scope; the template applies to mail passing through wp_mail().

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.

Choose the Pro or Premium edition for the advanced paid styling options identified for WP Email Template. Set the design and sending method through the administration menu, then use the template with supported WordPress and plugin-generated messages.
