        you can’t .
        it’s plaintext…..

        in other words : you cannot format plaintext emails other than text / spaces.
        if you want to do anything like that , you need html

            just in case the above isn’t clear. this is not a limitation of the plugin.
            it’s what plaintext emails are/do

              You were clear on the first reply. I understood what you meant. I’m still trying to figure out why when I select to use HTML emails it doesn’t work.

              I wanted to know if it was possible making the font bigger in plaintext emails cause I’m using in the meantime till I can figure out the HTML email issue.

              I reached out to my hoster asking a few questions about the way they have it setup and why it doesn’t work when selecting to use HTML emails.

                if you havent done so already, enable debug like so

                https://www.wp-pizza.com/topic/how-to-enable-debug-in-wordpress/

                and see if that gives you any better messages regarding email issues

                  I would do it that way, but my hoster has their setup in a proprietary way that they say it won’t work. Supposedly their engineers are working on implementing it, but they don’t have an ETA at the moment.
                  Still waiting to hear back from them from my earlier email that I sent them asking a few questions regarding this.

                    ah yes, i remember…..
                    let’s see what they have to say i guess

                      Question: Do we still have to do this in the latest wppizza version?
                      Or can we simply edit the template in the template section of the plugin?

                      if using PHPMailer function you probably want to edit the html template. To do so, move “wppizza-order-html-email.php” from the wppizza template directory to your theme folder and edit as required

                        either.
                        if you use/select the “standard” ones, the file that creates them is the one in the /templates/ directory. if you want to edit that, you need to copy it somewhere as mentioned

                        if you use what i call the “template builder” – i.e you clicked on “add template” – then those are created as set there. there are no editable template files anymore that go with these.

                        you just drag/drop , enable/disable parts labels etc and or amend the css that goes with it (provided you are using html format)

                        there is some info how they work when you click on the “help” tab at the top right , though i seem to remember that your theme or one of your plugins manages to not show this help tab.

                        not much i can do about that though as that’s some standard WP code that creates that tab and it’s content

                          essentially, there’s the “old way” to do this if you want, or the new way using the drag drop stuff.

                          you can even do both for different recipients

                            Gotcha.

                            Yea, the WAT plugin hides the Help section. That was me trying to declutter the dashboard a bit. I will make the change to display it.

                              I heard back from my hoster regarding the issue with HTML emails. Here’s their reply.

                              That’s very strange! We definitely support both HTML and Plain Text emails, and I know it works fine with lots of other customers. I have passed this along to our engineering team to take a deeper look at.

                              In the meantime I created a new testing website in single installation with just wppizza and the stripe gateway installed using the default 2015 theme. I selected HTML in the WP-Pizza Settings, and edited the template a bit in the template builder to make the font a bit bigger. Still no luck using HTML. If I switch back to plaintext emails it works fine.

                              Hopefully they can find out what’s causing the issue.

                                ok.
                                if they have a clue (or are ever able to enable debug) let me know

                                  Will do.

                                  Thanks!
