It seems that you’ve overridden the default email template by creating a child theme. * Since this is a third-party product that we don’t provide support for based on our [Support Policy](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/), I recommend that you reach out to the developers of the plugin for further assistance. They will be better equipped to help you resolve any issues you’re experiencing with the plugin. * All the best and hopefully, the issue will be fixed soon. * Thread Starter [marcellofanatic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcellofanatic/) * (@marcellofanatic) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-error-php-message-php-fatal-error-3/#post-16664244) * Hi Xue, * thanks for your quick reply, * I found the error, the issue is on the custom completed order notification email on the custom template as you suggested. The ‘%’ on the function below throw a PHP error: * “_printf( \_\_( “Hi there.  Your recent order with Bramley & Gage has been completed and is on its way to you. Thank you for ordering from us, we hope you like your products and will visit our site again soon. Your order details are shown below for your reference.
