php - Allow re-sending New Order Notification in WooCommerce 5+

Solution:

Since WooCommerce 5.0 a new filter hook has been added, that disables resending "New Order" email notification, restricting this specific notification to be sent only one time.

This is what has been added toWC_Email_New_Ordertrigger() method (default is set tofalse):

/**
 * Controls if new order emails can be resend multiple times.
 *
 * @since 5.0.0
 * @param bool $allows Defaults to true.
 */
if ( 'true' === $email_already_sent && ! apply_filters( 'woocommerce_new_order_email_allows_resend', false ) ) {
    return;
}
Copy code

So you need now to add this little additional piece of code, to unlock this notification:

add_filter('woocommerce_new_order_email_allows_resend', '__return_true' );
Copy code

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.

Now your code will work again.

I have opened an issue on WooCommerce Github, as main hook argument should be set totrue by default (as mentioned on the comment bloc), and should allow by default to resend New Order Notification.
