    Hi,

    I have a form set up with a dropdown for Country. The dropdown is generated from the post category list. Everything works fine on the site and the data is sent to the post correctly. However, the email I receive displays the category ID, instead of the actual category title. I’m using the Mail(2) to send a confirmation email to people of use the form, so would like the data in there to use the title instead of the ID. Is this doable?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    sure this is doable. There are 2 ways to achieve this, either use the Contact Form 7 mail tag filter (‘wpcf7_mail_tag_replaced’ I think, you’ll need to check the CF7 plugin support for that), or you can use my other plugin (The Smart Grid-layout extension for CF7), which was built to overcome the many limitations of the CF7 plugin. It introduces specific mail tag filters and I made a video tutorial on how to use them. You’ll need to get the term name (label) from the the term ID using the WP core function get_term_by

    Excellent! Thank you for that.

    Here is my working code for anyone else experiencing this issue:

    // REPLACE CATEGORY ID WITH FIELD NAME ON EMAILS
CHANGE your-mail-tag AS APPROPRIATE

add_filter( 'wpcf7_mail_tag_replaced',
 
  function( $replaced, $submitted, $html, $mail_tag ) {
    if ( 'your-mail-tag' == $mail_tag->field_name() ) {
      if ( is_numeric( $submitted ) ) {
        $term_name = get_term( $submitted )->name;
		$replaced = $term_name;
      }
    }
     return $replaced;
  },
