Add Order Number to WooCommerce Email Subject Easily
Explanation
Want to make your WooCommerce email subjects more informative by adding the order number? Here's how you can do it:
This code snippet helps you include the order number in the subject line of various WooCommerce emails. It works by checking if the order is valid and then appending the order number to the subject line.
- Function: The function wp_dudecom_add_order_number_to_email_subject takes the current subject and the order details.
- Order Number: It retrieves the order number using $order->get_order_number().
- Subject Update: The order number is added to the subject using sprintf, which formats the subject to include "Order #1234 - Original Subject".
The add_filter lines ensure this function is applied to different types of WooCommerce emails, such as new orders, processing orders, completed orders, and invoices.
By using this snippet, your email subjects will automatically include the order number, making it easier for you and your customers to identify orders at a glance.
Code
<?php
// Add order number to WooCommerce email subject
function wp_dudecom_add_order_number_to_email_subject( $subject, $order ) {
// Check if $order is a valid WC_Order object
if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
// Get the order number
$order_number = $order->get_order_number();
// Append the order number to the email subject
$subject = sprintf( __( 'Order #%s - %s', 'woocommerce' ), $order_number, $subject );
}
return $subject;
}
