NOT sending HTML email

  • Postman version: 1.7.10

    Hello,
    We are testing your excellent plugin combined with the WP Better Emails version: 0.3 plugin.
    It works BUT:
    It will NOT send the emails in HTML form. All emails are in plain text.

    We did test the WP Better Emails with other SMTP plugins (like Post SMTP). Those plugins DO accept HTML emails. So, the problem is with Postman. Is it that Postman does not send HTML or just plugin mismatch?
    If it is a mismatch, could you please fix it? (the other plugin hasn’t been updated for 2 years but works fine with other plugins)

    Thank you for your work,
    marikamitsos

    Trying to find a solution I came across these posts:

    Not working with Sendgrid plugin
    Could you suggest something similar?

    email has to be plain text
    Is there a way to do this in your plugin?

    Or is there a similar problem?

    I hope they help.
    We do really need to use both blugins, so a solution would be great.

    thanks again,

    Hi,

    I can confirm there was an issue and it will be fixed in the next version.

    For now, you can open the file in this path: /Postman/Postman-Mail/PostmanMessage.php

    Change line 38 from this
    private $contentType;

    to this:
    private $contentType = 'text/plain';

    Hello again and thank you for the quick reply,

    I am afraid though, it did NOT work. :/
    The messages still get sent as plain text. Meaning the WP Better Emails plugin canNOT “kick in”.
    There must be another way.

    PS: have you tried it? Did it work for you?

    yes, I tested it.

    Edit wp-config.php You must insert this BEFORE /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ in the wp-config.php file

    
 // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

// Disable display of errors and warnings 
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

    From the Post SMTP settings, on the Advanced tab select Trace for PHP Log Level

    Send an email and then goto /wp-content/debug.log and post the output here – check no private data leaks.
