Hi.
Questions about email notifications.
I wrote it using HTML (table, br, color....) on the post.
However, nothing seems to apply to the email notification I received.
Please refer to the attached image.

Is this working properly? Or, what's wrong?
If it's wrong, what should I do?
Thank you.

Hi @tayo,

Please note, that emails are not articles and have HTML tag restrictions. There are a few HTML tags that are allowed for email templates. The table <table>, row <tr> and cell <td> tags are not allowed in emails. You can customize the allowed HTMLs using a code like this: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/email-template-logo-and-images-are-not-showing/#post-30372

But, first try this solution, this may allow all post HTMLs in your email template: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/allow-more-html-tags-in-emails/paged/3/#post-18556

Hi.
Thank you for solving my problem! Email now looks the same as the post. Thank you!!

However, I have one thing to tell you.
I found out that the site was down because of the code you told me, and through debug, I found the cause of the problem was ' ; '.
So I modified it, and it worked normally.

This is the third line of the code below.
I'm not a developer, so I don't know if this is right, but Debug's gone anyway. Please refer to it.

Thanks again for your help.

Oh, one more question.
If you look at the attached image, there is no line of <table> in the mail.
Is there any way to make this visible?

For your information, I added the CSS below to make the table line visible on the post.

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-content table, #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-content table tr, #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-content table tr td, #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-content table tr th{
border:1px solid;
}

Thank you.
