All 4 forms have the exact same settings (except for the "To:" email).</p> <p>All my forms on my website have admin_email in the "from" field added by default. When I test it, 3 forms put the user submitted e-mail address in the "from" field. The last form uses the actual admin email in wordpress. I have no idea why.</p> <p>Can someone help? I am using the last version. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-is-admin_email-in-the-from-field-of-notifications#post-233705 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:20:13 +0000 wayne 233705@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just tested it, and when I added {admin_email} to the From Email field in notifications, it used the Email field value {Email:3} instead.</p> <p>I also tried the form with the Email Field {Email:3} removed, and then it used the wp admin email address, as you would expect.</p> <p>So it seems that if there is an Email field on the form it will override {admin_email}. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-is-admin_email-in-the-from-field-of-notifications#post-233642 Thu, 02 May 2013 10:35:15 +0000 wayne 233642@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks David, makes sense, but not the behaviour I was seeing, but perhaps it is still using the original setting of submitter email address and only displaying {admin_email} when I edit the form. But is From a new field? Can't remember.</p> <p>Will try saving and see what happens. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-is-admin_email-in-the-from-field-of-notifications#post-233631 Thu, 02 May 2013 10:22:39 +0000 David Peralty 233631@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Admin e-mail should be the e-mail address of the Primary WordPress Administrator account on your blog. You can change this to be whatever you like. I would suggest changing the From address to both an e-mail address you would check, and one that actually exists on your server. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-is-admin_email-in-the-from-field-of-notifications#post-233433 Thu, 02 May 2013 07:25:56 +0000 wayne 233433@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Since the recent upgrades I've noticed {admin_email} now appears in all the From fields for email notifications. Everything seems to be working as before, which is the submitters email address is included in this field, so I assume {admin_email} means &gt; use submitter Email by default. So what if the form does not include an Email field, which email address will be used? </p>
