Need WP hooks to change notification emails

  • Hi All
    I have searched for ages in the docs for these but can’t find them.
    I’m using a theme called Pinclone (it’s like pinterest) and it sends 4 notification emails to members –

    When a pin is liked
    When someone repins a pin
    When someone follows them
    When someone comments on a pin

    The emails are very basic and I want to customise the subject and body of the emails.

    I suspect that there isn’t any WordPress hooks for these, but have to ask anyway.

    So if anybody knows of hooks that I can use to customise the emails that would be unbelieveably wonderful.

    BTW, the theme doesn’t provide any ability to change the emails, I have talked to their support and then won’t provide any advice regards customisation, they won’t provide and customisation services, they won’t provide any details of their custom hooks, their functions.php file is encoded, they don’t have any good documentation and they don’t have a support forum. I have also installed and tested several plugins and none seem to be able to work on these emails.

    So why am I using this theme? Because it is the only theme that is a true Pinterest clone that I can find, for WP. And I don’t mean just cosmetically, I mean a clone that allows people to join and pin to my site from other sites etc. And I don’t have the 1,000’s of $ to develop from scratch.

  • This is a tough one to give support on since it’s a paid / premium theme. Without access to the theme and being able to see how the emails are being sent and generated it’s almost impossible to answer. They could be using wp_mail() which does have a general wp_mail filter hook or they could be using generic PHP to send emails which then would rely on the theme having hooks or being able to be child themed. Unfortunately, I think your best bet is to keep pestering the theme support from where you purchased the theme or hire a local developer to look into the theme code on your behalf.
