THANK YOU! That worked. I looked at the code behind the post and saw the “<p>” tags just like you mentioned. I added the CSS and now the top bar appears correctly.

I tried the code and see that links now have an underline. But what I was referring to is “when I add a link, an extra line of space is added below the content.”

I cautiously (and incorrectly) had set the snippet to only run in the administration area. Once I changed it to ‘run snippet everywhere’ I am receiving invoices with custom product field attached to emails. THANK YOU very much for all of your help!!!

Following the steps from the link above: displaying-product-custom-fields/

It is a product custom field that has meta in front of it – Meta: sku_RE I added ‘sku_RE’ in place of ‘Location’ in the code provided.

add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_before_item_meta', 'wpo_wcpdf_product_custom_field', 10, 3 );
function wpo_wcpdf_product_custom_field ( $template_type, $item, $order ) {
    // check if product exists first
    if (empty($item['product'])) return;
  
    // replace 'Location' with your custom field name!
    $field_name = 'sku_RE';
    $sku_RE = $item['product']->get_meta($field_name,true,'edit');
    if (!empty($sku_RE)) {
        echo '<div class="product-sku_RE">sku_RE: '.$sku_RE.'</div>';
    }
}

When I tried it with ‘Meta:’ in front of it, it gave an error.

To clarify, I am referring to the PDF invoice attached to the email.

Thank you for your help.

I have not been having success communicating via email. It was recommended that I do so because some of the answers may have been to suggest the paid plugin. After following the link below to add a custom field added with a code snippet, the invoices attached to ANY email do not show the custom field. However, when I click on the icon in the Woocommerce orders area, THAT invoice shows the custom field. I have tried the recommended troubleshooting and not been able to reason why the backend invoice and email attached invoice are different.

since WordPress doesn’t allow us to provide support or answering pre-sale questions for paid plugins in this forum

Using an action hook
If you’ve never edited your themes functions.php before, make sure to read this first.

Let’s say your custom field is called ‘Location’, you can display this below the product description with the following code:

add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_item_meta', 'wpo_wcpdf_product_custom_field', 10, 3 );

function wpo_wcpdf_product_custom_field ( $template_type, $item, $order ) {

    // check if product exists first

    if (empty($item['product'])) return;

    // replace 'Location' with your custom field name!

    $field_name = 'Location';

    $location = $item['product']->get_meta($field_name,true,'edit');

    if (!empty($location)) {

        echo '<div class="product-location">Location: '.$location.'</div>';

    }

}

Thanks. I was definitely able to import ‘stock#’ as a meta: custom field. It was presenting a problem later when I was trying to use that custom field.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick reply. How could I send the PDF invoices in a later stage? It is automated. Do you mean manually? Or in settings/documents, under the Attach to: it says Disable for: ‘Select one or more statuses’. Is this what you mean? Or is that something I would enter in code? Do I want Woocommerce to wait to send the order email – New order (Admin email) so that it does so after the custom field has been added to the invoice?

I forward the New order email with the pdf invoice attached to the office once I check the order details. I added the custom field with a second sku number that helps to identify the product on the shelf (we also have a physical retail store).

At this point, I am opening the New order email, deleting the attached pdf invoice, logging into WordPress, downloading the pdf invoice and attaching it to the new order email that I forward to the office. Hopefully there is something I can do so that the PDF invoice that goes into the automated New Order email appears the same as the PDF invoice in Woocommerce.
