Listing Added Email Template

Hi there,

Thanks for checking on this. The listing-added email template can’t be overridden from a theme or child theme. The plugin deliberately loads this template only from its own folder, so a copy in your child theme gets skipped wherever you put it. (For other templates, overrides go in your-child-theme/business-directory/, without the templates/ folder.)

This template is the new listing notification sent to the admin, and its content isn’t editable in the settings. The email sent to the person who submitted the listing is separate, and you can edit it in Directory > Settings > Email.

If you want to customize the admin email anyway, you can replace its content with a filter. Here’s a starting point you can add with a plugin like WPCode. It loads your own copy from your-child-theme/business-directory/email/listing-added.tpl.php:

add_filter( 'wpbdp_template_vars', function( $vars, $template_name ) {
	if ( 'email/listing-added' === $template_name ) {
		$GLOBALS['my_bd_listing_added_vars'] = $vars;
	}
	return $vars;
}, 10, 2 );

add_filter( 'wpbdp_render_email/listing-added', function( $content ) {
	$file = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/business-directory/email/listing-added.tpl.php';
	if ( file_exists( $file ) && ! empty( $GLOBALS['my_bd_listing_added_vars'] ) ) {
		$content = wpbdp_render_page( $file, $GLOBALS['my_bd_listing_added_vars'], false );
	}
	return $content;
} );

Please test this on a staging site first. Custom code is outside what we can fully support, but this should get you started.
