The code snippet provided aims to solve the problem of disabling email notifications for free purchases made with the Easy Digital Downloads plugin in WordPress. This tutorial will explain step by step how the code works to achieve this.
The first part of the code defines a new function called wpturbo_disable_free_purchase_emails(). This function will be responsible for checking if a purchase is free and disabling the relevant email notifications if true.
Inside the function, we check if the ‘price’ value in the $purchase_data array is equal to 0, indicating that the purchase is free. If it is, we proceed to disable the purchase receipt email and the purchase admin notification email.
To disable the purchase receipt email, we use the remove_action() function with the ‘edd_complete_purchase’ and ‘edd_send_purchase_receipt’ hooks, specifying the ‘edd_trigger_purchase_receipt’ callback function and priority of 10, along with the expected arguments.
remove_action( 'edd_complete_purchase', 'edd_trigger_purchase_receipt', 10, 3 );
remove_action( 'edd_send_purchase_receipt', 'edd_trigger_purchase_receipt', 10, 3 );By removing these actions, we prevent the emails from being sent when a free purchase is completed.
Next, we disable the purchase admin notification email by adding a filter with the ‘edd_purchase_disable_admin_notification’ hook. The add_filter() function takes the ‘__return_true’ callback function, which simply returns true, indicating that the admin notification email should be disabled.
add_filter( 'edd_purchase_disable_admin_notification', '__return_true' );This filter disables the purchase admin notification email, ensuring that admins do not receive email notifications for free purchases.
The last step is to hook the wpturbo_disable_free_purchase_emails() function into the ‘edd_pre_process_purchase’ action. This action is fired before the purchase is processed, allowing us to check if the purchase is free and disable the corresponding email notifications.
add_action( 'edd_pre_process_purchase', 'wpturbo_disable_free_purchase_emails' );By doing this, the function will be executed when a purchase is being processed, enabling the disabling of email notifications for free purchases made with Easy Digital Downloads.
