Change “reply to” email address

    Hi, your plugin is working great except that the default reply-to address has changed from [email protected] to my administrative email address. I saw your instructions:

    bbp_subscription_email_from( $from ) // $from can be a string or array(‘name’=>string, ‘address’=>string)

    I am afraid I am not expert enough to know how to correctly insert this into my functions file. Could you please give me a specific example, using $from to be the organization name, and the [email protected]? I have added this code already and it works like a charm:

    add_filter( ‘bbp_forum_subscription_email_subject’, function( $subject, $forum_id, $topic_id ) {
    $blog_name = get_bloginfo( ‘name’ );
    $topic_author_display_name = bbp_get_topic_author_display_name( $topic_id );
    $topic_title = wp_specialchars_decode( strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) ), ENT_QUOTES );
    return “[$blog_name] New topic: $topic_title by $topic_author_display_name”;
    }, 10, 3);

    Thanks so much, I really appreciate this plugin.

    Sure, try this:

    add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_email_from', function( $s ) { return '[email protected]'; }, 10, 1 );

    Hi Markus, don’t know if I should add to this one or start a new topic. The “new topic” notifications still have a reply-to of my administrative email address. Do I need to add a line to the “new topic” info? Here’s what I have in my functions file — thanks again.

    add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_email_subject', function( $subject, $forum_id, $topic_id ) {
    $blog_name = get_bloginfo( 'name' );
    $topic_author_display_name = bbp_get_topic_author_display_name( $topic_id );
    $topic_title = wp_specialchars_decode( strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) ), ENT_QUOTES );
    return "[$blog_name] New topic: $topic_title by $topic_author_display_name";
}, 10, 3); 
add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_email_from', '[email protected]', 10, 1 );

    Ah yes, it would seem you have copied my code from before I fixed it (or perhaps from a notification email). I hadn’t written WordPress code in a while and made a mistake that I quickly remedied (about a minute or so after first posting it), but apparently not quickly enough.

    Please use the code from my first reply as it appears now and everything should be working as expected. Let me know should anything go awry again.

    Okay, I’ve plugged it in. Thanks again!
