Customize WooCommerce Password Email
### Steps to Customize the WooCommerce "Forgot Password" Email
1. **Locate the Default Template**
– WooCommerce provides the default email template for the password reset in:
/woocommerce/templates/emails/customer-reset-password.php2. **Copy the Template**
– Copy the `customer-reset-password.php` file into your theme or child theme at the following location:
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/emails/customer-reset-password.php3. **Edit the Template**
– Open the copied file and modify it as needed. For example, you can change the email's text, styling, or content.
A sample code snippet might look like this:
<?php
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
echo '= ' . esc_html( $email_heading ) . " =nn";
echo esc_html__( 'Hello!', 'woocommerce' ) . "nn";
echo sprintf(
esc_html__( 'Someone requested a password reset for the account associated with %s.', 'woocommerce' ),
esc_html( $user_login )
) . "nn";
echo esc_html__( 'If this was you, you can reset your password using the following link:', 'woocommerce' ) . "nn";
echo esc_url( $reset_password_url ) . "nn";
echo esc_html__( 'If you did not request this, please ignore this email.', 'woocommerce' ) . "nn";
echo "=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=nn";
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_email_footer_text', get_option( 'woocommerce_email_footer_text' ) );4. **Customize via Hooks (Optional)**
– If you prefer not to override the template, you can use the `woocommerce_email` hooks. For example, to modify the email content:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_subject_customer_reset_password', function( $subject, $email ) {
return 'Your Custom Subject for Password Reset';
}, 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_content_customer_reset_password', function( $content, $email ) {
return 'Your custom email content here.';
}, 10, 2 );5. **Test Your Changes**
– Use WooCommerce’s password reset functionality to send a test email and verify your changes.
6. **Use a Plugin (Optional)**
– If you prefer a plugin-based solution for easier management:
– Install a plugin like **"WP Mail SMTP"** or **"Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer"** to edit the email templates without touching code.
By following these steps, you can fully customize the "Forgot Password" email to align with your brand and communication style.
