Send from field on notification setting page doesnt work

    I'd like to have my form to send notification emails to my email box. The send from field of each email should be different from wordpress default email. I set up the 'from email' field on the notification page. However, it did not work.

    Is there any place you can upload a screenshot of your notification settings so we can confirm they are the way you'd want? Also, are you receiving any notifications? Looking forward to helping you sort this out.

    Here is the link to the screenshot.

    I can receive notifications. But the from field of received emails is always my admin email which is support@birchpress.com though I set this field on the notification settings page with contactus@birchpress.com.

    BTW, I use the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin to set up my smtp server. The following is the link to the screenshot of email settings.

    I am having this same issue... the notification from page is not being used in the email sent out.

    Hwa - Your issue is that the WP SMTP plugin overrides everything before sending the e-mail, and that's why it always shows up as the e-mail address set in that plugin.

    I use the following script to set up my smtp server. The result is that the send from field is always same with the smtp login user name. I guess gravityforms doesn't set the send from field.

    add_action('phpmailer_init','smtp_phpmailer_init');
    function smtp_phpmailer_init($phpmailer) {
    
        $smtp_options = get_option('smtp_options');
    
        // Set Mailer value
        $phpmailer->Mailer = 'smtp';
    
        // Set SMTPSecure value
        $phpmailer->SMTPSecure = $smtp_options['smtp_secure'];
    
        // Set Host value
        $phpmailer->Host = $smtp_options['host'];
    
        // Set Port value
        $phpmailer->Port = $smtp_options['port'];
    
        // If usrname option is not blank we have to use authentication
        if ($smtp_options['username'] != '') {
            $phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;
            $phpmailer->Username = $smtp_options['username'];
            $phpmailer->Password = decrypt_string( $smtp_options['password'], CRYPT_KEY );
        }
    }
