Title: Dev feature – Create template file? Last modified: September 12, 2018 --- # Dev feature – Create template file? * Resolved [bishless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bishless/) * (@bishless) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/) * Hello. I’m really liking your plugin. I was looking for a little more control over the output and found this developer featured advertised on the plugin site’s front page: * ![screenshot: ](https://i0.wp.com/cldup.com/mWofc-fOoa.png?ssl=1) * I don’t see that button in the Advanced tab of version 2.8. Did that feature get removed? Any chance it can be restored? I’d love to include a template file in my theme to set up the email design and formatting?

We had problems with updates in the template file and I received support emails every week from users who clicked the button without knowing what it does and wondering later on why their backend setting didn’t work anymore. * Do you need to make changes to the HTML or just to the CSS? Maybe I can helb you to find the right filters best regards, Hannes * [Anticosti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anticosti/) * (@anticosti) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10684937) * I also miss that feature. Damned it! It will now be 35 Euros per year to get it back… If you want it that bad? - This reply was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by [Anticosti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anticosti/). * Plugin Author [Hannes Etzelstorfer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haet/) * (@haet) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10684957) * Tell me more about your planned customizations, maybe it is possible with filter and I can write a short how to. * [Anticosti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anticosti/) * (@anticosti) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10685000) * [@haet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haet/), I just want to be able to re-use my custom template that I ajusted (inside my child-theme). I made it to behave well in WooCommerce and it worked. * Thread Starter [bishless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bishless/) * (@bishless) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10685796) * I was hoping to have more HTML and CSS control of the header and footer – was hoping to use a file within my theme to do so. * [zluke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zluke/) * (@zluke) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10696593) * I’d also like to make a few tweaks and was disappointed to see there’s no option for custom css or anything. The template is so close to perfect! Hooks to add css would be wonderful, thanks. * [Anticosti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anticosti/) * (@anticosti) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10696667) * Sorry to say that but… To have the WooCommerce part working, there is alternatives on CodeCanyon. One I am thinking of is: Ex.: [https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-email-customizer-with-drag-and-drop-email-builder/19849378](https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-email-customizer-with-drag-and-drop-email-builder/19849378) Price: $26 US (One time Fee) Compared to: Price: $39 Euros (have to renew each Year) * As of today: 39 Euros = 45,5715 US = 59,3246 CAD * This is one problem with WordPress. Solution is free and Open Source but, all these overpriced addons sometimes are real turnoff. * How much money for plugins have you spent in your Website? How much fees are recurrent (every year)? * My 2 cents * Plugin Author [Hannes Etzelstorfer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haet/) * (@haet) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10698157) * Ok guys here’s my suggestion: I’m going to add the feature again next week. Additionally I’m going to add a few filters: 1. one for the header - 1. one for the content - 1. one for the footer - 1. one for the desktop CSS - 1. and one for the mobile CSS * I’ll keep you updated here in this post. * Thread Starter [bishless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bishless/) * (@bishless) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-feature-create-template-file/#post-10700054) * Sounds great!
