This function in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php. I've removed it and everything works as it should.</p> <p> * bp_core_email_from_name_filter()<br /> *<br /> * Sets the "From" name in emails sent to the name of the site and not "WordPress" </p></blockquote> <p>Maybe that will help someone. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notifications-rules-not-being-obeyed-on-form-submission#post-69017 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:55:34 +0000 David Peralty 69017@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Glad to hear it.

Instead of appearing as my email address and name in the users email it's appearing as accountname@box***.bluehost.com. The admin email in WP settings is set to where I want it to go (support@themightyshrimp.com), but it doesn't appear in the users email anywhere. I'm running email through Google Apps. The same kind of form on other sites of mine work just fine. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notifications-rules-not-being-obeyed-on-form-submission#post-64209 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 21:07:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 64209@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please update us here if you find out what's going on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notifications-rules-not-being-obeyed-on-form-submission#post-64204 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 19:59:25 +0000 rossagrant 64204@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll speak to some of the BP devs and see if they know what's happening.</p> <p>BuddyPress is such a big platform, as is GF.

I never looked to far into it. I was able to work around it in my situation and never went further. If I had to guess, I would guess it's BuddyPress. I never looked into the filters or hooks being used by BuddyPress to see if they're intercepting the mail and processing it somehow. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notifications-rules-not-being-obeyed-on-form-submission#post-64169 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 09:29:03 +0000 rossagrant 64169@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Chris,</p> <p>So in terms of setting the from name and email, do you think it's one for the GF' team, or the BP team?</p> <p>Like I say, the emails themselves are still being sent which is cool, but the name and from address would be great to have working when BP is active. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notifications-rules-not-being-obeyed-on-form-submission#post-64168 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 09:20:26 +0000 Chris Hajer 64168@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I do. On that installation I use the "Mail From" plugin to work around it. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/</a></p> <p>It's an old plugin, but it still works with WordPress 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.1 (I think those are the versions.)</p> <p>That will not solve the problem of being able to set the From and Email address on each form, but it worked in my situation. Beyond that, I did not look into the cause of the conflict. </p>
