## Description

This enhancement to the Woocommerce email system allows you to get more control 
of your Woocommerce emails.

 * Add product images of any size – _(requires Woocommerce 2.6+)_
 * Embed and attach email images
 * Easier selection of email header image (replaces the Woocommerce default functionality)
 * Display product categories for each line item
 * Display product SKU for each line item
 * Test your emails either in your browser or emailed to your email address using
   data from real orders

It is compatible with either the standard email templates, or your custom templates,
as long as you retain the correct hooks and filters used by the standard templates.

The plugin also gives you the option of attaching and embedding any images within
the email, including the header image if you have chosen one.
 This prevents the
user having to “load images” when they receive the email, reduces the chances of
your emails being considered as spam with most providers, and prevents your images
becoming “not found” if the user or your website are offline.

_Be careful not to overuse large embedded images as it does increase the size of
your emails._

Woo Email Control also provides a very useful testing facility, whereby you can 
either view any email directly within the browser, or send it to your email address.
The preview emails contain live data for any order, not simply the empty template–
great for checking your custom email templates without having to create or edit 
a new test order each time.

**Please note** This is an Add-on for Woocommerce and requires Woocommerce 2.5+ (
2.6+ for product images)

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/woo-email-control` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly, using
     the
    full unzipped plugin file.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. To configure your Woocommerce emails, use the Woocommerce -> Settings -> Email 
    tab. The extended settings are towards the bottom of the main settings form.
 4. For testing individual emails, click on the email from the list on the main settings
    page, and the section marked “Test this email template” is at the bottom.

## FAQ

To change the category separator when displaying product categories (default ” >“,
add the following filter to your functions.php file.

    ```
    add_filter('wooctrl_category_separator','my_wooctrl_category_separator');
    function my_wooctrl_category_separator($sep) {
        return " : "; // you can replace this string with anything you like. Best with spaces!
    }
    ```

To change the html wrapper for the category list, add the following filters to functions.
php.

    ```
    add_filter('wooctrl_category_wrapper_start','my_wooctrl_category_wrapper_start');
    add_filter('wooctrl_category_wrapper_end','my_wooctrl_category_wrapper_end');

    function my_wooctrl_category_wrapper_start($str) {
        return "<p style="color:#ccc">";
    }
    function my_wooctrl_category_wrapper_end($str) {
        return "</p>";

About 75% of the features described on the Details tab can not be found. Two buttons
can be though, one offers an email preview, the second one attempts to send an email,
without offering you any option to define the recipient other than the site admin.
Advice to the reader (if other than the plugin author): If you need free and awesome
support for WooCommerce email customization, use the Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer
instead of this one.
