Hi WC-Lovers Team,
many users of our site notified that Verification Code Email is unreadable.
After some analysis on code (I’m a pro developer) I discovered that such issue is causated by Special Characters in my Site name.
Site name is “Càta La Spésa” (so ‘à’ and ‘é’ are causing the issue)
The issue take place in “wcfm_email_verification_code” (file “/core/class-wcfm-ajax.php) method when it try to reteive “get_bloginfo(‘name’)”
This is very strange because other mails sent directly from woocommerce does not breaks (for “breaks” I mean are unreadable becuse are displayed with partial headers and explicit HTML code, not parsed)
I obiouvsly cannot change my site name, so I tried to put a different subject in WooCommerce->Settings->Emails->WCFM – Email Verification, but this is ignored and mails have always WCFM default subject.
I Manually fixed the issue (by removing {site_name} from subject, avoiding substitution) but this is a very bad practice because the fix will be lost on your next update.
I Hope that this detailed analysis will help you to fix easly.
Thank you,
Fabio

Hi,
I tried your Site name, but for me it’s working fine. Also I tried from your website with my email address and there was nothing broken in the email.
So, I’m not sure how to assist you on this.
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi,

Thank You for replay!

of course is not broken, I manually edited the plugin core file (even if I know it’s a very very bad practice) because my Vendors were receiving corrupt mail.

Here the body of this email as I received:

Hi,
Sorry for multiple posts, but doing it on single post it’s confusing with this amount of code.
Anyway I restored original code installing the plugin update, and cleaned Custom email subject from Woocommerce Mail Settings Section, so the issue comes again.
I can fix using a custom mail Subject for Verification Code, in Mail Settings becaused it was fixed during last update (very thank you!)
But how can I prevent this for all the email not available from Woocommerce Email Settings page?
Thank you,
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
Kindly use wcfm_email_verification_email_subject filter for your purpose.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank You!

Hi,
I noticed that this issue is extended to all the email messages coming from WCFM (maybe because they use the same core function?)
So I mean, Order Widthrowal Request, New Follower, Etc.
I don’t receive the issue for all the other WP / WC /CF7 mail sent from the website.
In the meantime I purchased WCFM Ultimate but situation is still the same.
Using the filter you suggested will act only for email Verification, so I will have to edit All of their filters.
This is a lot of work.

Hi,
Last time you told me that you are going to test this in a staging environment. So, would you be comfortable sharing temporary backend access of your staging site, along with FTP, to debug this further?
When sharing the access, please don’t forget to mark the reply as private.
Thank you!

Hi,
I’m so sorry but due to Copany Politics, I cannot share these imformations.
Staging environment is a clone of the production Env, so it contains all personal informations of registered Vendors.
I know this is a strange issue and not so easy to investigate, so I talked with Marketing Dept and they decided to edit blog name without these special characters.
With this modification, all the emails are sent without issues.
If I can help you in any other way, I’ll be pleased.
Thank you for the supoport!

Hello Team,
I have a similar issue. I have a polish chars which are corrupted during the email sending. The email in encoded in UTF-8, but the email content genereted by WCFM are corrupting the content.
I can see that i need to change “wcfm_email_verification_email_subject” but I’m new to WCFM, and can’t find the workaround for this.
Are you able to link the documentation, or instruct me what to do and where?
BR, Leszek
