  • @williwissler I second Maria. You have to click the dropdown on the right to select “paid” or “all.” At first, it’s a bit confusing, but trust me, once you have scores of paid invoices, it makes sense. When I log in to look at invoices, what I’m mostly concerned about is the unpaid ones so I can track down my money.

    Just curious, you’re getting support for a WordPress plugin, but your site says “Powered by Shopify?”

    Thanks Maria, I will look forward to your reply!

    @pako69 I agree that Google is choosing to send from the same address. The proper solution IMHO, and one I would be willing to pay for, is one which allows differentiation, such that if WP-mail wants to send an email, the plugin will look at the “from” address and pair it with the appropriate account (gmail or other SMTP provider, doesn’t really matter as long as they authenticate with username). If there is no corresponding account, the SMTP plugin would simply use WP-mail.

    This type of solution requires a bit more configuration and knowledge, which may present a challenge to some WordPress users, but there is clearly a need for it. Again, I think this is an excellent opportunity for the fine folks at WPForms. If they choose not to capitalize on it, perhaps I will.

    As a follow-up for any interested party, I wish to confirm that I am still unable to get the “From Email” field to be honored. My current solution is to configure the plugin to use the desired “From” email address as the username. (In my case [email protected].) This does require that the desired “From” email is a working email address on the SMTP server in question. In my case, the SMTP server is Gsuite (gmail for business).

    In order to set the “reply to” address as [email protected] for all WooCommerce generated emails, I added the following code to my active child theme functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'add_reply_to_wc_admin_new_order', 10, 3 );
    
    function add_reply_to_wc_admin_new_order( $headers = '', $id = '', $order ) {
            $reply_to_email = '[email protected]';
            $headers .= "Reply-to: <$reply_to_email>\r\n";
    
        return $headers;
    }

    I hope this helps.

    This workaround is still less than ideal. Purchasing customers still see the “From” email as [email protected], which can lend to some confusion. Ideally, I would hope for a more robust solution, ideally from a paid plugin. I state that a paid plugin would be ideal, because we all work for money, and paying for a plugin would incentivize developers to construct and maintain a solution. For those who depend on their website as a source of income, a paid plugin and active support provide a level of comfort necessary to continue using the WordPress and WooCommerce platforms.

    Unfortunately, after looking through the repository at the top 20 SMTP plugins, no plugin currently offers the functionality of selective “From Email” selection.
    Hopefully, the talented developers at WPForms will capitalize on this opportunity!

    It looks like Skyverge has a good tutorial on their site:
    https://www.skyverge.com/blog/how-to-add-a-custom-woocommerce-email/

    The tutorial linked above sends a custom email based on the type of shipping selected. For your use case, you would simply change the query

    // bail if shipping method is not expedited
        if ( ! in_array( $this->object->get_shipping_method(), array( 'Three Day Shipping', 'Next Day Shipping' ) ) )
            return;

    to reference email_order_items_table and in your array, add the slug for your product category.

    That should do the trick, but I won’t be trying to implement this for a few more days. Let me know if this was helpful or not.

    @smilyanp – I’m looking for the very thing. I used to have a bookmark for it. I’ll follow your thread, and post back when I have a solution.

    It is working now…..

    Use Google Chrome. Hit F12 to open developer console.

    Under “resources,” click the proper dorp-downs to find your scripts for the page.

    The problem is doubtless a .js issue. Once you find the names of all the scripts running, systematically eliminate them until you find the conflict.

    Now, many of the .js elements in WP are just bloatware, or not strictly necessary for your site. Find your work around.

    Assuming the file upload works for you, simply make each file tag unique, and add as many as you need.

    EG [your-file] [your-other-file] [yawn-yet-another-file]

    separate with
    for your form, just a single space in the “file attachments” field.

    If I knew how, I would alter the rating to 5 stars based on your feedback.

    Really excellent plug-in!

    Gabe,

    Thank you. That makes sense. However, I don’t think the average user wants to empty their cache every time they change out a picture, especially when changing 10 or so. The process is a hassle even for professionals.

    I am personally opposed to clearing my cache regularly, because I typically have over 30 tabs open in two to three browsers, and I often use my page history to go back to some tabs when I have closed them.

    I noticed a page refresh did not update the picture, but leaving the page and returning did change the picture. I assume this is because the page dynamically pulled new content from the DB.

    I’m sure there is a way to automate having WP re-“get” the image thumbnails when the page transitions from the “edit image” page to the media main page, but it probably would involve editing the WP core files.

    Again, to me this is a minor issue. This is a really great plug-in now that it is working with WP 3.5.

    Elizabeth,

    Thank you kindly for sharing your work. Hacking someone else’s code is never easy. You’ve saved a lot of us a lot of work (Including maybe the developer – HINT HINT)

    I noticed two things I would like to mention:

    When I was replacing the code for line 57 in Dreamweaver, the new code took two lines, which made line 59 become line 60. Just FYI for anyone who doesn’t figure that out.

    2nd: When I tested the fix (and this was my first use of the plug-in) the gallery view did not change the “thumbnail” or “preview” from the old image to the new image, but the changes were live on the site. When I left the media tab (I went to posts, but it doesn’t matter) and returned to the media tab, the “preview” had refreshed.

    I can see that being a little confusing for my clients. I wonder if this plug-in always functioned that way…..

    Thank you again!

    Hmmm,

    I originally found your post because my auto response kept saying it was from “WordPress”, but showing my email i.e. [email protected].

    I followed your format exactly, with “John Doe <[email protected]>” and it worked perfectly.

    What I noticed was that in Gmail, because I had already received an auto response email just prior to making the change, it kept the name “WordPress.” I deleted the two emails and sent another inquiry through. Problem solved. It reads from “John Doe” now.

    If you are using Gmail, try deleting the auto response emails you have received so far and do another test.

    Hope this helps!

    Jason
