I'm trying to add a dynamic placeholder {tipo_ordine} to the subject on WooCommerce email notifications.

I tried Additional placeholders for Woocommerce email notifications subject with ACF answer code, making some minor changes to it:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_format_string', 'add_custom_email_format_string', 10, 2 );
function add_custom_email_format_string( $string, $email ) {

    // HERE the ACF slug to be used to get the value
    $meta_key = 'tipo_ordine';

    // Get the instance of the WC_Order object
    $order   = $email->object;

    // Get ACF value (with the correct Order ID)
    $value = get_field( $meta_key, $order->get_id() );

    // Additional subject placeholder
    $new_placeholders = array( '{tipo_ordine}' => $value );

    // Get the clean replacement value string for "{tipo_ordine}" placeholder
    return str_replace( array_keys( $additional_placeholders ), array_values( $additional_placeholders ), $string );
}

But It doesn't work. What I am doing wrong?

Can you put some var_dump calls in the function to check what actual values you have got? For example, what is $order_id, where is that set? – A Haworth Oct 20 '20 at 20:05
It's an error it would be $order->id I will modify! – Micki Benci Oct 20 '20 at 20:26
sorry, $order->get_id() – Micki Benci Oct 20 '20 at 20:53
Does it work now or should I have another look? – A Haworth Oct 21 '20 at 08:13
No it doesn't work, so I change subject of new order email via another function, no placeholder! – Micki Benci Oct 22 '20 at 10:01
if I change $new_placeholders to $additional_placeholders, it replaces the placeholder, but $value returns always null, so it replaces with white space. – Micki Benci Oct 22 '20 at 10:02
If $value is always returning null that means that that ACF field ('tip_ordine') has not been setup or populated. Are you sure that that field has been defined? – A Haworth Oct 22 '20 at 14:07
