User gets email from "wordpress@"

    I have a large form with user registration. Everything is working perfectly, but there's one small dtyling detail I don;t like.

    When users register the email comes from: Wordpress <wordpress@mydomain.com>

    This is ugly and looks like to wants to be customised. Is this possible ?

    thanks

    That is the User Notification section of the Notification screen. Do you have the Notifications menu item above your form, and if you click it, can you find this Notification to User section? That's where it's set. If you have it set there, and it's not working, that's another problem.

    Yes, I've done that and it works perfectly. But the issue is with the username & password & login link that Wordpress seems to be emailing automatically as well. If I was manually creating a user I'd just de-select the "email user" option.

    Obviously in this case I want the user to get the login details email, I just want to be able to style it. How does the user usually get their login details using the Gravity user registration system ? Maybe I'm the only one who cares about the apparent "from" email user?

  4. Sorry, I completely missed that this was regarding the User Registration Add-on.

    The notification you're referring to comes from WordPress, so you'd have to configure WordPress to send it differently. There are a couple plugins I know of that will allow you to change the registration email, including the "from" address. Here's one (I have not tested it):

    The WP Mail SMTP plugin is designed for more reliable mail delivery from your website, but it too allows you to configure the "from" email:

    Ah, I see. Thanks very much Chris. I thought perhaps Gravity might overide the default WP email send. I'll check out the plugins.

    ( and thanks for the fantastic support again. No wonder I always speak so highly of Gravity )

  7. Here is the other much simpler plugin I was trying to recall for getting from of the "from wordpress@example.com" header:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

    It says compatible to 2.7 , but I am using it on one site that is 3.1.3 I believe.

  8. That was my issue too. Looks like "mail-from" will do the trick.
