WooCommerce BCC Completed Orders Email

Posted on 2014/11/12 (2015/05/20) by Andrew Schultz

Adding an audit trail to WooCommerce completed orders emails is a fairly easy task. We can achieve this by employing the filter woocommerce_email_headers and adding in a check for the object name customer_completed_order. ** This will work for WooCommerce version less than or equal to 2.2 **

/**
* BCC Email for orders completed for WooCommerce version 2.2 and below
*/

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'mycustom_headers_filter_function', 10, 2);

function mycustom_headers_filter_function( $headers, $object ) {
    if ($object == 'customer_completed_order') {
        $headers .= 'BCC: Sales <contact@eversionsystems.com>' . "\r\n";
    }

    return $headers;
}

/**

* BCC Email for orders completed for WooCommerce version 2.2 and below

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_headers', 'mycustom_headers_filter_function', 10, 2);

function mycustom_headers_filter_function( $headers, $object ) {

if ($object == 'customer_completed_order') {

$headers .= 'BCC: Sales <contact@eversionsystems.com>' . "\r\n";

}

return $headers;

}

** For WooCommerce version 2.3 and above […]

WooCommerce Duplicate Billing to Shipping Address For Virtual Products

Posted on 2014/10/17 (2015/05/19) by Andrew Schultz

With WooCommerce if a customer orders a virtual product there is no shipping address displayed on the checkout page. This makes sense as there is no physical item being posted to your customer. However, a few of my clients like to have the WooCommerce billing address match the shipping address. Subsequently, I wrote this piece […]

Add Custom Fields WordPress User Registration Page

Posted on 2014/09/25 (2014/10/17) by Andrew Schultz

To add custom fields WordPress user registration page we need to utilize the hook user_new_form because since WordPress 3.7 the hook register_form no longer works. Here is an example of adding a checkbox to the end of the user registration form.

<?php
//Add a new form element...
add_action( 'user_new_form', 'es_plugin_register_form' );

function es_plugin_register_form() {
	?>
	<table class="form-table">
	<tbody>
	<tr>
		<th scope="row"><label for="parent_account"><?php _e( 'Parent Account', 'eversion' ) ?></label></th>
		<td><label for="parent_account"><input name="parent_account" id="parent_account" value="1" type="checkbox">Create a parent account?</label></td>
	</tr>
	</tbody>
	</table>
	<?php
}


//Save our extra registration user meta.
add_action( 'user_register', 'es_myplugin_user_register' );

function es_myplugin_user_register( $user_id ) {
	if ( isset( $_POST['parent_account'] ) ) {
		update_user_meta( $user_id, 'parent_account', 1 );
	}
}

?>

<?php

//Add a new form element...

add_action( 'user_new_form', 'es_plugin_register_form' );

function es_plugin_register_form() {

<tbody>

<tr>

<td><label for="parent_account"><input name="parent_account" id="parent_account" value="1" type="checkbox">Create a parent account?</label></td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<?php

}

//Save our extra registration user meta.

add_action( 'user_register', 'es_myplugin_user_register' );

function es_myplugin_user_register( $user_id ) {

if ( isset( $_POST['parent_account'] ) ) {

update_user_meta( $user_id, 'parent_account', 1 );

}

Here is the result of us adding custom fields to WordPress user […]
