Email from wordpress

That’s a WordPress issue. You should able to change it via the standard WordPress settings pages.

no setting. I am using Login With Ajax
“If you’d like to override the default WordPress email users receive once registered, make sure you check the box below”

I have that ticked but can’t see default WordPress email settings

In event-settings-email- registration email settings
if I test from there the from is “ADMIN”
but new registrations are from wordpress

For user registrations, Events Manager uses the standard WordPress procedure. It sounds like the ajax plugin is causing problems with that.

If it’s preventing you from accessing the standard WP settings page, you might want to disable it, make the change to the email address, then reactivate it.

I deactivated everything other than events manager but I do not get the option shown here

or any other email settings

OK
This fixed the problem
edit pluggable.php file,
`$from_name = ‘WordPress’;
change ‘WordPress’ to ‘your name or your website’

$from_email = ‘wordpress@’ . $sitename;
change ‘wordpress@’ to ‘your name@’`

No! Never, ever, edit WordPress core scripts. And do not encourage others to do so. Editing core scripts can bring down your entire site and/or open security holes for hackers to use.

Use a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/mail-from/

“And do not encourage others to do so”
I was hardly encouraging others to do so??

“This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.”

Posting such a solution is encouraging others.

Is an old outdated plugin a good idea?

It still works fine. Sometimes a plugin isn’t updated because it does not need to be updated. If you are not comfortable with that, look for another similar plugin.

But never, ever, edit core WordPress files.

ok found one that does the trick. cheers
