Thanks for posting this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-142716 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:58:18 +0000 jphogan 142716@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just wanted to add the solution to this problem in case anyone else had it. Warning: the solution is painfully simple once you realize what it is. It's a Wordpress change. On the Admin Panel, go to Settings &gt; General and change the admin email. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-104546 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:11:07 +0000 Chris Hajer 104546@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>A syntax error means you pasted in something incorrectly. Please try removing line 1 (the opening &lt;?php ) and see if the syntax error goes away.</p> <p>This will override the email address on all admin notifications. If you don't want that, you will need some different code to take a manually entered address into account. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-104544 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:06:29 +0000 jphogan 104544@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I attempted to use the code from that page<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php add_filter(&quot;gform_notification_email&quot;, &quot;change_notification_email&quot;, 10, 2); function change_notification_email($email, $entry){ return &quot;ellis@iamsinc.com&quot;; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>and added it to the bottom of my functions.php file. It killed the whole blog with a syntax error (unexpected "&lt;")</p> <p>Also, will that change override when I have specified an individual to receive a form notification? Thank you </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-102321 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:31:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 102321@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>At least it's only one place to edit and will work on all forms. I hope that works for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-102318 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:29:09 +0000 jphogan 102318@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for the workaround. I think that will work for what I need.

You would make that one change in functions.php of your current theme and then all your forms would send the admin notification to this new email address. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-102277 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:17:55 +0000 jphogan 102277@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, exactly. Currently {admin_email} = my email address and I want it to be someone else's. I couldn't find where I could make that change (if it's even possible). Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-102234 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:04:41 +0000 Chris Hajer 102234@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So you would like to change the default for all new forms from {admin_email} to something, so that it is accurate every time a new form is created, without having to worry about someone editing the notification? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-default-admin-email-1#post-102231 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:02:59 +0000 jphogan 102231@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ideally, no. I am changing positions and another person is taking over responsibility of the gravity forms. I would like him to be able to create forms without needing to remember to change the notification email address each time, so that we don't risk leads not being responded to in a timely manner. Any other possible solutions? </p> <p>Thank you for your response. </p>
