Why is my header image not visible?

The most common reasons are:
* Your site is password protected so your email client can’t load the image.
* You are using a local staging site that is not reachable by your mail client.
* The image format is not supported by your mail client. Try a different image (PNG, JPG or GIF).

Can I send my newsletter campaigns with this plugin?

No, this is not a newsletter tool, it just makes your emails beautiful but doesn’t send custom ones.

How can I remove the gap at the header of my Contact Form 7 emails?

Go to your Contact Form 7 email settings and change email type from HTML to text. WP HTML Mail will take care of the HTML.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email header?

There’s a filter to change the header HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_header', function( $header ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Of course you can display HTML code, not just text.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email footer?

There’s a filter to change the footer HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_footer', function( $footer ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Can I add custom CSS code to my WordPress emails?

You can add your own CSS code for desktop and mobile. Just add this example to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it:

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_desktop', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                border-bottom: 2px solid green;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_mobile', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                background:red;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

How to disable the template for some emails?

Find anything all emails have in common. It may be the sender, a word in the subject or something in the email body.
Then add this function to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it. Return TRUE if the template should be used and FALSE if not.

// return true if you want to use a template for current mail
// return false if you want to leave the content of this email unchanged
add_filter( 'haet_mail_use_template', 'customize_template_usage', 10, 2 );
function customize_template_usage( $use_template, $mail ){
    // $mail['to'] ...
    // $mail['subject'] ...
    // $mail['message'] ...
    // $mail['headers'] ...
    // $mail['attachments'] ...
    return true;
}
