Emails sent in plain Text in Place of HTML

mmmhhh…

I don’t find anything about this subject…

I’ve added :

add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_content_type' );

function set_content_type( $content_type ) {
return 'text/html';
}

and installed swift mail plugin as requested by sendGrid WP plugin

but it doesn’t change anything …

Still get all mails in plain/text format

Any idea please ?

??

Hi, by default, the emails sent with Wordpres plugin are plain text.
In order to send html email you need to :
1. For setting html for a certain email – in Send Email form add in Headers the following line: content-type: text/html (see screenshot: https://screencast.com/t/H4tQ5sHX)
2. For setting html for all emails – you have to:
– Set the content type to ‘text/html’ running add_filter(‘wp_mail_content_type’, ‘set_html_content_type’); function before to wp_mail() one.
– After wp_mail() function you need to remove the filter: remove_filter(‘wp_mail_content_type’, ‘set_html_content_type’); in order to avoid conflicts

Hi ,

Thanks a lot for your answer…

Well, i’ve tried the first option you mention with the test from sendGrid Test mail page, it seems to work..

But what about the second one, the one i’m only interested in …
I’ve found two wp_email() call in my theme … just have add :
add_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');
and
remove_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');
before and after wp_mail() call , and it doesn’t work… i always get my emails in text-plain format …

Also, does i have to add these to all my WP site folder ? there a lot of call to wp_mail , from woocommerce to different other plugins and core … doesn’t seem to be very stable solution, as everything should stay updatable …

But before this… as i said you, this doesn’t work for my first test with these code :

add_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');
if(wp_mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers))
{
echo '<span class="mail-success">' . __("Thank you. Your message has been sent.", 'kleo_framework').' <i class="icon-ok icon-large"></i></span>';
do_action('kleo_after_contact_form_mail_send', $name, $email, $comment);
}
else
{
printf($error_tpl, __("Mail couldn't be sent. Please try again!",'kleo_framework') );
}
remove_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');

So ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Can you tell us where are you trying to use this code?Because I have tested it and it worked for me.

We have added the option to configure text/html content-type from plugin Settings page.

Sorry to hijack this thread as I’m facing the same problem.

I’m very sure that I have set the Content-type as text/html… screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAQ3ATqqBAlOG7QpGnQJj3WWlF3jQVreb8E

But when I sent test mail, here’s what I got instead… screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AATRIoe1AYtPs7b13wJgtfha_G9_bl-kdnc

What am I missing?
