Things have improved slightly, now the following code works:</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_3&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry) { global $post; //$email_to = get_the_author_email(); $email_to = &#39;bob@example.com&#39;; return $email_to; }</code></pre> <p>Where as the following code fails completely:</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_3&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry) { global $post; $email_to = get_the_author_email(); //$email_to = &#39;bob@example.com&#39;; return $email_to; }</code></pre> <p>I don't think get_the_author_email() is working for some reason. What's the best way to see if it's being set properly? I'm not quite sure how to echo out variables from filters... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/does-the-gform_notification_email#post-23549 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 11:02:45 +0000 Carl Hancock 23549@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm unable to replicate this issue with v1.5.1.1, the filter is working as expected. One thing I would suggest is to check your spam filter if you are doing tests and not receiving the email at a @gmail.com account, because gmail could have flagged it as spam because it didn't originate from gmail.</p> <p>Here are screenshots of what I did to try and replicate this, everything worked fine and as expected:</p> <p>Screenshot of code in place in functions.php:<br /> <a href="http://grab.by/9Uru" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9Uru</a></p> <p>Screenshot of User Notification settings:<br /> <a href="http://grab.by/9Urz" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9Urz</a></p> <p>Screenshot of form being submitted:<br /> <a href="http://grab.by/9Urx" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9Urx</a></p> <p>Screenshot of notification being received at address specified by filter:<br /> <a href="http://grab.by/9UrB" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9UrB</a></p> <p>Nobody else is reporting this issue which leads me to believe that your tests aren't working properly because they are getting caught in a spam filter, or there is other code on your site that is causing the problem. The filter is working as expected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/does-the-gform_notification_email#post-23506 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 15:42:52 +0000 sevendayweekend 23506@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think the filter is boken in some way, because when I change it to this, it stills fails. I.e. it still reverts to admin email field and not <a href="mailto:bob@example.com">bob@example.com</a>.</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_3&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry) { //global $post; //$email_to = get_the_author_email(); $email_to = &#39;bob@example.com&#39;; return $email_to; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/does-the-gform_notification_email#post-23489 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 08:37:01 +0000 sevendayweekend 23489@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just upgraded WP and Gravity Forms on one of my sites and now the customised email notifications have stopped working. Emails are now sent to Notification to Administrator -&gt; Email field instead of the post author as intended using the hook below.</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_3&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry) { global $post; $email_to = get_the_author_email(); return $email_to; }</code></pre> <p>Is the above code still the preferred method for changing notifications to the post author? </p>
