username html for strong not rendering in email

  • The email sent that warns that the user name have changed does not render the html for <strong>$username</strong>

    It displays the html as text in the message body as it is, like: your username has changed to <strong> maria </strong>

    here is the email headers – you will notice the content-type is actually text/plain – maybe it’s related ?

  • what i did is, i changed the html tag for bold text with [ username ] for highlighting purpose while maintaining the plain text format.

    Go to this file /username-changer/includes/class.template-tags.php
    Edit line 366 & 379
    change from return '<strong> ' . $username . '</strong>'; to return '[ ' . $username . ' ]';

    if I changed the email headers directly to send HTML format, this might affect other mailing plugins as well, so i just maintain the format and replace the tag so that it shows nicely in the email.
