Changing the To address of comment admin notification emails

Hi @mondalaci

From the “BCC admin on notifications” option?

The email from the “Sender email address” (WP admin > StCR > Notifications) is used.

Which is a bit of an oversight, since a “noreply” address might be used there.

We’ll change that so it goes to the actual “Administrator Email Address” as set in WP admin > Settings > General.

Thanks for your help @wpkube!

I don’t use the “BCC admin on notifications” option. I receive admin emails of post comments regardless.

It seems to me that the “Sender email address” option specifies the From email field, not the To field that I want to change.

The “Administration Email Address” of Wp admin -> Settings -> General also specifies the From email field, and I don’t know how it differs from the “Sender email address” of this plugin.

Please help me further. I’m still very confused about the above.

Are you getting notifications of comments from WordPress or from StCR plugin?

The WordPress emails have the subject like:

[SITE_NAME] Comment: "COMMENT_CONTENT"

The StCR emails have the subject like:

There is a new comment to POST_TITLE

–

As for the question about the difference between the “Administrator Email Address” and “Sender Email Address”:

The “Administrator Email Address” is an option as part of WordPress itself. It’s the address where you’ll receive all emails from WordPress itself. It’s the main email address connected to your site.

“Sender email address” is an option as part of StCR plugin. It’s the address from which the notifications will be sent to the subscribers. By default it is the same as the “Administrator Email Address”, but some users want to separate their main email address and the email address from which the notifications are sent out, that’s where they can change it.

Thank you for explaining the differences between various email addresses. Based on your description, I’d expect WordPress to use the administrator email address as the To address of the relevant emails, but it uses it as the From address.

The title of my notification emails is:

“[Ultimate Hacking Keyboard] Please moderate: $blogPostSubject”

“Please moderate” in the subject means that it’s coming from WordPress, a new comment was posted which you need to moderate (approve/trash).

WordPress uses a non-existent [email protected] (your domain of course) as the FROM for the emails it sends out.

StCR does not do that (now that it’s pointed out, we might switch), it defaults to the administrator email address with the ability to enter any address you want.
