Hi @onyekaxt. You can edit email templates by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Emails in your dashboard and clicking on the email you’d like to change. Note that this shows the “raw” version of the email template code, so you might need to do some digging to find the exact text you’d like to modify. If you want more of a visual editor, you’ll want to look into something like this plugin.
hi.
i had tried that already, i couldn’t find that exact email sample i sent!
huh? did you say “raw” version?
that’s somewhat surprising because i didn’t see any raw whatever in the entire email settings
that plugin you shared is annually paid for!

Hi @onyekaxt.

You might need to search through the code to find the exact place where that text is set. It might be getting passed in through a filter or other function.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. If you click on an email in the email settings, you can copy, view, and edit the template for that email. This shows the template code for the email, though, not a preview of how the email actually looks like when it’s sent. That’s what I meant by the “raw” version.

Yes, I don’t know of a free plugin that would allow you to edit emails in a visual way.
hi..
i really don’t know why i can’t see where to view & copy the codes from. screenshots might be helpful
thanks
how do i get to the full code, so as to search/edit that particular part i sent earlier?
best regards
Hi there,
The settings to copy the email template to your theme can be found under **WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > YOUR EMAIL NOTIFICATION > Manage > Copy File to Theme**. On my local testing website, here’s what that looks like:

hello!
thanks for reaching back.
do you use the paid version of woocommerce?
i’m asking cos that last line in yours “to override and edit this email ………….. blah blah blah” is not in mine. after “email type” drop-down menu, all i have is a blank space!
this is weird!
what do i do?
hi there,
i just took another look at the your screenshot, there are 2 paths therein.
now, why do i have to copy the PHP file in the first path into the second path before i can be able to edit it?
kinda confusing!
hello,
i just tried locating the destination path(wp-content/themes/mytheme/woocommerce/emails/), what i have in my cpanel is wp-content/themes/mytheme/woocommerce/… there’s no “emails” directory therein.
do i have to create a new “emails” directory?
Hi @onyekaxt, I’m glad to hear you fixed it! What did you wind up doing?
It may be irrelevant now, but in answer to this question:
i just tried locating the destination path(wp-content/themes/mytheme/woocommerce/emails/), what i have in my cpanel is wp-content/themes/mytheme/woocommerce/… there’s no “emails” directory therein.
If you were to edit a template, you would want to create this directory yourself. When copying and editing a template from the email settings, though, it will do that for you automatically.
hi.
i simply followed the instructions on the screenshot you sent me manually, since it did’nt appear in mine.
i read a relevant part of woocommerce docs too.
best regards
OK, great, thanks for confirming!
I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. If you have any further questions, feel free to create another thread!
