Change "from" in RSVP email

[lvdesigner]

Hi!

Where do I change the “from name” for RSVP emails? Currently the email is coming from WordPress… that won’t work for us. It needs to come from the company name.

Additionally, is there a way for an email to be sent to the admin when someone RSVPs for an event? Where are the settings for this.

Thank you very much!
Pamela

Hi Pamela,

Our emails use the wp_mail() function so all the emails from your site (e.g. password reset emails) should be coming from that same email address. This article has some instructions on how you can change it: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-change-sender-name-in-outgoing-wordpress-email/.

To get an email sent to the site admin when someone RSVPs, try adding the snippet in this post to the functions.php file of your child theme. Make sure to leave out the opening <?php tag when copying/pasting, or you will run into errors.

Let me know if this works for you!

Thanks,

Jennifer
