Wrong To email – Admin Notification

Just tried it with Password Reset Notification and get the same thing… “Send To” field is being ignored. This is with version 1.7.2

Sorry, Password Reset Notification is working…

Ok, apparently it’s hard coded that way in overrides.php:

$wp_new_user_notification_email_admin = array(
'to'      => get_option( 'admin_email' ),
/* translators: Password change notification email subject. %s: Site title */
'subject' => __( '[%s] New User Registration' ),
'message' => $message,
'headers' => '',
);

Hi @ronr1999,
Thanks for your message.

It sounds like expected behaviour to me but can you link me to a screenshot of the notification that isn’t working for you so I can see?

Sure: VIEW ME

Again, “SEND TO” does not work for these notifications. Please either correct, remove these fields, or at a minimum add a Note… thanks!

Hi @ronr1999,
Just tested and the Send To field is working without issue for me however, adding a user to the BCC field doesn’t appear to be sending the notification to them, so i’ll investigate that. It did work previously so must be an issue that appeared in a recent version of either the plugin or WordPress.

Hi @ronr1999,
Just re-tested everything and I can verify that BCC is working as expected however, it appears the BCC field is being included on each email that is sent for each user in the Send To field. I’ve put this on my list of things to fix for January.

In the meantime, please make sure you have at least one user in the Send To field, even if this is the Admin user or a ‘fake’ user with a noreply@ email address in order for the notification to send out correctly.

Hope this helps.

I’m having the same issue. On the New User Registration – For Admin, the Send To does not work, it will only send to the main admin of the website. I’m use Post SMTP and watching my email log.

Hi @stinamariechris,
This may be fixed in the next version of the plugin as WordPress 5.0 have caused some issues with some admin notifications.
