PressPilot Email Template Customizer adds a presentation layer to outgoing WordPress emails. It does not replace wp_mail() and does not interfere with SMTP plugins.
Developed and maintained by CardeeTech (Cardee Technologies, SL).
Key features:
- Wrap outgoing
wp_mail()messages with a consistent HTML template. - Default Designer mode with visual tokens (logo, header image, colors, typography, width, radius).
- Custom HTML mode with placeholder replacement.
- Live preview in admin for faster iteration.
- Built-in test email tool (single or multiple recipients).
- WebP safety flow for email compatibility with PNG conversion cache.
- Diagnostics panel for runtime checks and recent log visibility.
Template modes:
- Default Designer: uses internal template + design tokens from settings.
- Custom HTML: uses your HTML as-is and replaces supported placeholders.
Supported placeholders:
{{message}}, `{{subject}}`, `{{site_name}}`, `{{site_url}}`, `{{site_host}}`, `{{logo}}`, `{{header_image}}`, `{{date}}`, `{{year}}`, `{{preheader}}`
Legacy compatibility during migration window:
{{ctetc_header_image}}is still accepted for upgraded installations.
