No template when sending wp_mail from php

    I’m sending a system and a customer email from a php script as shown below.. however neither of them are receiving the wp_better_emails template. It is working for general system messages generated by wp. Any suggestions please?

    I’ve tried different variations eg missing off the headers or forcing the type to plain text

    //customer email
subject = "The Subject";
$message = "Hi there! You have successfully subscribed to XXX and resources, your membership is free. Your username is {$user_username} and your password is {$user_pass}\nYou can start managing your subscription at https://www.XXX.com/login/.";
$headers = 'From: XXX <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$success = wp_mail( $user_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

//system email
wp_mail( '[email protected]', 'Remote registration', "User {$user_username}, {$user_email} was registered on " . date ('d.m. Y H:i:s', time() ) );

    The php script is placed at the root of my wp domain.

    I’ve also tried using:

    $headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain');

    Hi,

    You sould probably wait for everything to be ready. Place your code under a hook in a functions.php file or a single custom plugin file. 

    add_action('init', function() {
	//customer email
	$subject = "The Subject";
	$message = "Hi there! You have successfully subscribed to XXX and resources, your membership is free. Your username is {$user_username} and your password is {$user_pass}\nYou can start managing your subscription at https://www.XXX.com/login/.";
	$headers = 'From: XXX <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
	$success = wp_mail( $user_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

	//system email
	wp_mail( '[email protected]', 'Remote registration', "User {$user_username}, {$user_email} was registered on " . date ('d.m. Y H:i:s', time() ) );
});

    Note: the code below will send emails on each page load!

    Thanks, but I’m not too sure how that would fit in with my use case.

    The php script is called externally by a phone app, variables are posted to it, it allows a wp member to be created from the phone app using wp_create_user() and it then sends the wp_mail.

    Sorry, your description does not tell me if you’re calling functions the right way or not. I can’t help you if I don’t know the context. “php script” is vague. WordPress is composed by a set of “php script”.

    Sure thing is that any text plain emails sent with wp_mail like you did should send templated emails.

    Unless some other plugins have actions on email sending or you’re not sticking to WordPress behavior.

    Your first answer gave me the best clue (as well as the fact that none of the expected hooks were being executed). My php file used ..

    define( ‘SHORTINIT’, TRUE );

    Hopefully it will be fine for me not to use this setting.

    Thanks.
