Hi,

I tried changing the templates of the invoice gateway (order confirmation & invoice) by copying the files to the exact same path
(gateways/Invoice/lib/templates) in the uploads folder and editing the php files.
BUT: there are no changes whatsoever in the PDFs.

Plus: whenever there are files in the uploads/gateways folder, all the input fields in the WordPress backend for the Invoice gateway are gone. As soon as I rename the gateways folder, they are back… ?!

Regards
Renate

Hi Renate,

The customized invoice/receipt templates need to be in a specific location, which is:

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/modules/gateways/Invoice/lib/templates

ok, thanks. I thought it’d be the same path as in the core directory, just copied to the uploads directory 😉

Now it works.

Hi Renate,

When we shared feedback on your question earlier this year, copying over the templates for editing was the recommended way to edit the templates for the Invoice or Receipt.

That has changed as Event Espresso 4 now has an editor to edit those templates through the WP dashboard.

It can be found in Event Espresso –> Messages. You’ll now be viewing the Messages Overview screen. Now look for Invoice or Receipt and click on Purchaser. Here is an example of how they appear on the Messages Overview Screen:

If you do not see them, then you may be using an old version of Event Espresso 4 or they may be on page 2 so you can paginate (browse) to page 2 and they should be there.

Here is a change log for Event Espresso 4:
