How to Change WooCommerce Order Confirmation Email Title
Explanation
Want to tweak the subject lines of your WooCommerce order emails? Here's a simple way to do it.
For Processing Orders:
- This code changes the subject line for emails sent when an order is being processed.
- It checks if the email is related to a processing order and then updates the subject to say, "Your Order #123 is Being Processed."
For Completed Orders:
- Similarly, this code updates the subject line for completed order emails.
- It changes the subject to "Your Order #123 is Complete" once the order status is marked as completed.
These changes help make your emails more informative and personalized by including the order number directly in the subject line. Just make sure to add this code to your theme's functions.php file or a custom plugin to see it in action.
Code
<?php
// Function to change the subject line of WooCommerce order confirmation emails
function wp_dudecom_custom_order_email_subject( $subject, $order ) {
// Check if the email is the customer processing order email
if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) && $order->has_status( 'processing' ) ) {
// Customize the subject line
$subject = sprintf( __( 'Your Order #%s is Being Processed', 'woocommerce' ), $order->get_order_number() );
}
return $subject;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_subject_customer_processing_order', 'wp_dudecom_custom_order_email_subject', 10, 2 );
// Function to change the subject line of WooCommerce completed order emails
function wp_dudecom_custom_completed_order_email_subject( $subject, $order ) {
// Check if the email is the customer completed order email
if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) && $order->has_status( 'completed' ) ) {
// Customize the subject line
$subject = sprintf( __( 'Your Order #%s is Complete', 'woocommerce' ), $order->get_order_number() );
}
return $subject;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_subject_customer_completed_order', 'wp_dudecom_custom_completed_order_email_subject', 10, 2 );
